one8tvw,
this sounds delicious! if you need someone to come over and make sure it actually tastes good, i will totally volunteer. I'm not that far away from you and would love to give this a taste test.
Looks like a good brew. I'm also diggin' the clear Moose's Tooth growler, I love that place!
When do you think you will have your first taste of this current batch.
Great recipe. My wife should LOVE this. Been looking for things to make her.
man, that looks friggin awesome. I'm definitely brewing this. Do you think the crystal 10 comes out a lot? would you keep it at 2 lbs if you brewed again, or use less/more? This thread is good stuff sir, good stuff indeed.
I'm rounding up things to get this moving. I'm discovering our freezer space is somewhat limited and 5lbs of whole bananas simply are not gonna make it.
Is it acceptable to sanitize the bananas, then peel them, slice them, and place the pieces in sanitary baggies in the freezer?
I think I can accommodate the sliced up bananas in baggies but no way for the whole banana. Will sliced frozen bananas go ahead and ripen in the freezer?
I assume one would hold off adding the rum until the bananas are ready to be used. At that point I would remove the baggies, allow them to thaw, add the booze and blend???
I'm asking because I have zero experience working with bananas.
I'm wondering if completely ripe (black) bananas would be best for this?

If my math is right, the 5lb of bananas adds 1.5% ABV. That look right to others?

I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the results...also, you maple brown and the jog stout look extremely interesting. Ive been trying to find a way to make a.porter or stout taste.like an egg not.I figured I gained .5% from the banana addition
Have you thought about using 99 bananas instead of rum? do you think that would make the banana flavor too overpowering?

I think that is what shorts really uses in their s'mores beer...they say they use real Graham crackers but that would be extremely messy and volitale.Not yet. Based on inventory, I'm guessing about 30 days out. How long from grain to glass for you? Would you change that timeframe?
Considering banana Capella flavoring instead of real bananas. Rumor has it Capella graham cracker is what is in Southern Tier Pumking.
