Make an Alan special and chuck em all in together for a 5 gal batch, apart from the bananas...eat them whilst preparing the rest.. oh and the sugar...golden rule...hydrometer.

Sounds like a plan

Well, if it was me and I had most things in tins, I would leave it as is - much easier to move than DJs full of liquid..

However, I have made CJJJBerry's banana wine and I quite liked it.

It asks for 4lb bananas and half a pound of skins, (but I left them out, didn't like the sound of it actually). In addition you need 100ml WGC, 1 lemon, 1 orange, and amylaze, as well as the usual yeast etc. Berry states 3lb sugar as usual, but I'm sure you know to go by your hydrometer.

This will look like a disgusting mess after a couple of days but, trust me, it's a really nice wine, bit OTT with the banana if you drink it young, but if you let it age for a year - WOW!

And last but far from least , i have made lots of wine/recipes with banana and like you say it does transform with age.
The idea/plan is to make possibly 4 gallon of lychee (unless anyone has other ideas/proven recipes) that i can put togetther with the ingredients mentioned.

So, lets say 4 gallon lychee (slightly changed from richs recipe)
2 gallon banana
and possibly an alan special? lol

Thanks for feedback and would appreciate more

Alan
