Default When & how to harvest

The title says it all - - We have a large stalk of medium to short bananas (about 65 total) that have matured for about 3+ months, the flowers? have dropped off the ends of each banana about a month ago & they seem to be fat enough to harvest. When do we do that? We've been told to cut the stalk above the fruit, take it into a dark place (garage) and hang it until it begins to yellow. Is this correct, and when or how do we know the time to cut the stalk? Thanks in advance -- Retired in Fla!
