Re: Banana wine/beer
Well for fun Im gonna tell yall how the Africans used to do it all the time, and still do in small villages. First, you dig a big pit, about 4ft deep and 4ft wide, then generously line the pit with what else, banana leaves! Next add a few whole bunches from each of the 2 selected varieties (cant remember the cultivar names but no matter...), cover up the hole with more banana leaves and cover with dirt and let it sit for a few weeks or so. Then dig it all up, put your now mushy gross banana bunches in a big strainer type thing and squeeze all that fermented banana slosh out, then I guess you call your buddies over, serve daytime temperature in some calabash and enjoy!????
Well, at least its something along those lines........
