I recently decided, with the influence of the wife, to make a "banana" beer. So after some wandering the boards this is what i came up with.
I will be updating regularly.

Amount Name Time Stage
5.00 lb Bananas 21 days Secondary
8.00 oz Dark Rum 21 days Secondary
2.00 cup Dark Brown Sugar 20 mins Boil

I was able to achieve 1.070 post boil and after 7 days the gravity was 1.010. I just racked the beer onto rum/banana puree, or as i like to call it adult baby-food, where it will be hanging out for about another 20 days.
24 hours after yeast was pitched
3 days after pitch...i switched to blow-off tube
7 days in primary
5lbs of sliced banana + 8oz of vanilla infused Sailor Jerry Rum hit the blender.
funnel into sterilized secondary
pureed banana floats!
put away and within the hour it already started bubbling
