My grape wine is on its 3rd day of fementing. It could teach the Maxwell House perculator a thing of 2 about perking :) I have been keeping it covered with an extra strainer bag and a towell over that. I have been fighting the fruit fly's that are hanging around so I put a lid with airlock on the bucket. This evening I will move it to another location away from the ff's.

Anyway my question is, I am getting a faint banana smell out of it. Should I be concerned?
 
Usually that smell happens when the fermentation is too warm. What yeast did you use and what kind of wine are you making?
 
Red Star Côte des Blancs
The temp of the room is locked at 70*
Just concord grape wine.
