I just saw another bloom on this same Banana Matt. Maybe all the rain started it to grow.

The Beer I made from this plants bananas is very good. You can smell bananas and really taste the banana flavor in the beer.

Mystery solved it's the banana beer plant

Ingredients:

Below are pictures of the 6.0 pounds of Malt Extract (Briess Wheat LME)
1 ounce of Hops (E.K. Goldings)
2 1/2 to 3 pounds of mashed bananas
Safale S-05 Yeast
Ferment at 67-70 Degrees F.


Directions:

Bring 3 1/2 gallons of water to a boil. Turn off heat and add all the Malt Extract, stirring to mix and dissolve thoroughly. Bring back to a rolling boil, and add the hops. This is to remain at an active boil for a full 60 minutes. (You can add Hops directly to the boil or use a Mesh Bag or Hop Spider.) At the last 10 Minutes of the boil add the mashed bananas. At the end of the boil cool the Wart (Beer Mixture) to 70 to 75 degrees, and add to the fermenter. Add cold water to make 5 gallons. Pitch the yeast, aerate and seal the fermenter. Add the air lock and ferment at 67-70 degrees F for 14 days. Prior to transferring mixture to bottling bucket boil 3/4 cup of corn sugar (dextrose) in two cups of water. Cool for several minutes and add to the bottling bucket. Transfer the beer, and mix well to incorporate the dextrose. Store bottles and allow to condition and carb up for 10 days minimum.

Could you link where you posted the recipe for your satisfying brew? I'm just getting ready to start "beering" again. Though I'm a wheat gal at heart, I'm always up for trying something new. H
