Since I was stuck at 1.030, I pitched a Safale WB-06 today.

First I started cutting them up like you would for a bowl of cereal. I realized quickly that that is too much of a PITA so I cut them vertically and then into smaller pieces. Bananas are clean already AFAIK. Their skin protects them. I did spray some starsan on the knife and in the bowl that I used to collect them in. Dumped them into the sanitized carboy and racked onto them.

I know this thread has been dead for some time now...but on the outside chance someone were to see it...does anyone have any insight on what the head formation on this beer is like? Just wondering if there is any issues like there is with the peanut butter recipes with the oil...Not a lot of banana experience but they do see a little 'oily'

My head retention was fine. Do you bottle or Keg? I carb kegs naturally then put them on the gas.

I was wondering what your thoughts were on adding 2 oz of banana extract to your bottling bucket to get a more banana taste to the beer?
