so in an altered moment last night right as i was falling asleep i thought about elvis. I know- somewhat creepy but i mean the guy liked peanut butter and banana sandwhiches. This got me thinking- i have around 4 pounds of overly rpe bannanas and alot of time on my hands, why not make a fruit beer. Heres what i have, any comments welcome.

55.2 6.00 lbs. Pale Malt(2-row) America 1.036 2
36.8 4.00 lbs. Banana-Overripe 1.035 5
4.6 0.50 lbs. Biscuit Malt Belgium 1.035 24
3.4 0.38 lbs. Chocolate Malt America 1.029 350
8oz deoiled peanutbutter
1.25 oz. Fuggle 25.6 @ 60 min.
(possibly additional styrian goldings or saaz)
I also am going to add 8 oz deoiled natural peanutbutter. Im basing this off of this: SleezySherm » Beer Recipes For additional deoiling- once its crumbly im going to spread onto a n oven sheet and roast at low temperature to draw out any excess oils making sure not to burn it.
Im going to boil the bannanas and skins per yooperbrews banana wine (grain bag) and then add the fruit into the grain as i mash. The liquor i get off the bananas will go into the wort as i drain first runnings. This should draw out some more flavor. Ill mash for medium to medium low body.
as for yeast i was thinking something spicy like a saison yeast.
