Had a quick search of the forum but couldn't see anything to do with this...
Has anyone given it a go or would it end up a disaster?
Going to give the apple scrumpy a go today but was already thinking towards the next project!
Thanks

The banana taste tends to disappear with fermentation, but bananas definitely add a lot of body when used with other fruits. On the down side, they sometimes make the wine difficult to clear (but that never bothered me).

I think there's a recipe or two in CJJ Berry's First steps in Winemaking, will have a look and see if I can find my mum's ancient copy somewhere.

one of my friends brewed some banana whisky it tasted bloody awful but he liked it, it was very sweet more like a liqueur (have i spelt that right !)
not really much of a banana taste.

I made some years ago and it was nice. That is what I managed to recover after the various explosions! For some reason banana wine is very volatile so be careful where you brew it!
You have been warned.......

Ihad a couple in the mystery wine last year, but it didn't really taste of banana!
