I’ve made banana wine myself before, and I loved it! Got a whole box of bananas plus some pineapples and stuff too for free. Put it in the freezer. Then after a while I took them out and cut them up and boiled them for 1 hour, the fermented and added sugar gradually. Was best after it had matured for at least 1 year. Got maybe 40L of 15%+ 🤩 tried carbonating some of it, and I almost think it was better than non-carbonated!
@@VictorK12345 for 40L i used one box of bananas (appr. 18KG, probably a bit less). I always use bananas close to expiring to get them cheap. I freezed them until I was ready to brew, then I cut them up and boiled them for an hour or two. let it cool, added some wine or champagne yeast and let it ferment, then age for a year.
forgot to mention that I added some KG of sugar. Brown sugar will probably be good, but I only had white sugar. Haven't tried it yet, but I do think some back-sweetening and addition of more banana after the yeast is dead could be good. The wine doesn't taste as strongly of banana as I thought it would when I made it, so more banana after fermentation might help
Hello from Montreal Canada, I did this recipe it’s delicious and I’ll try to add sugar in the bottle and wait another two weeks on two of the bottles. Thank you so much. Grazie mille !
I have been watching you for along time. You do alot more than just wine. You are a professional cheif also. alot of people don't know this unless they watch alot of your diverse videos. Well i just made all organic strawberry, plum, apple jack and grape batches of wine. Using you recipe. they are all so delicious I could drink them down to the last drop. but I don't want to be a drunk......I tell all my friends about you and your recipes. If I coud tell a million friends I would. because you are top shelf, you are quality. I appreciate all you efforts in all of your videos. thank you
I haven't been on your channel for a while. You still have delightful and original ideas with lovely clean presentation along with appropriate explanations and equipment. Although you still have not shown how to make a wild boar prosciutto or a fancy blackberry/limonchello sorbetto.
I just got a great deal on ripe bananas. $5 for 20lbs. Will have to freeze them first as I am out of time now and cannot make it for a few weeks. I read in the comments you did a batch with half peels left on. I will try that and will put the other peels in a bucket with water for fertilizer. Banana peels are amazing for that. Thanks for a simple and easy to follow recipe.
Another wonderful video :) a few years ago I suggested you to make a tomato wine and you said "Tomato wine?! no no!" but i think it would be a perfect video for your channel. The sweetest and best tomatoes come from Italy, you are moving back to Italy. Also it is unusual and fun, which is perfect for the RUclips algorithm. It always a wine i have wanted to try and make, but i have not had the confidence yet. If you made it, i would definitely try it!
My banana wine came out 18% ABV. Had to back sweeten to 1.020 specific gravity. It taste good like a banana brandy. I use 1/3 of the bananas diced with peel on since the peel adds nutrients for a strong fermentation. I used Lavlin 62b yeast. I want a pet elephant,
Hi thanks for the video! I've made it before and really enjoyed it. Couple questions--what temperature did you bring the wart/must to when you cooled it in the sink? Or rather, what's the ideal or maximum temperature you would add yeast at, without killing it? Also curious, why do you bring the bananas to a boil? I didn't boil mine so I'm just wondering if that's an essential step that I shouldn't skip.
You need to reach the room temperature. The best for me it’s 21*C degrees but in a hot country 28*C degrees will be fine If you boil the bananas is better for the sugar inside them 😉
Another great recipe. Loved it. But I am curious. You say not to use any peels. Peels contain lots of great flavors and tannin if yellow and lots of sugars when black. Have you tried to make a banana wine using some - or all of the peel? I also put my bananas in the freezer to make them over-ripen rapidly.
Thank you for these amazing videos! Maybe you can help me with this recipe - I am approaching a week in the first fermentor, but not all of my bananas have risen up. About half of them are still at the bottom. Should I wait until all are at the top before I pour it to another fermentor? Thank you.
Where can I get that exact fermenter like the one @3:01? Been scouring the internet for something that's air tight and the lid won't blow off from the pressure and doesn't cost $200
Can you do it without an airlock for the primary fermenter---the lid loosely closed, and daily stirring of the banana wine must for the first seven days? My secondary fermenter has an airlock.
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Thanks! I tried it on the third day and it was sour. I transferred it into a secondary fermenter yesterday but by pouring. Today is the 8th day and it is very sour. Has it become vinegar? I ll keep you updated. I have put it to age. Let see the result after a 15 days. I d love to hear from you if you see this message. I ve tried a few of your other recipes and they turned out great.
Hi Andrea! I have tried the same recipe with yours. OG 1058 and after 40 days FG 1010 and no bubbles on the airlock for the last 7-10 days(I will measure the gravity again the next 2-3 days). The problem is that the wine is not clear but cloudy. What should i do? Thank you! Cheers from Greece
Hi, Thanks for this recipe, looks worth a go. I was thinking of doing a Much larger batch, say a 20 Ltr Batch, My question is: How long would such a large batch take to actually ferment?
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Hi, thanks for speedy reply. no to airlock, no to hydrometer, I am just getting started in this hobby, I have a 20L food safe bucket with lid and not much else at present. How big of a diff does the yeast make? so far I have only used the standard bread yeast
@redknight3439 the first time make only 5 liters to try, because maybe at the end you will have 20 liters of banana vinegar. Bread yeast gives the taste of bread yeast to the wine, personally I don’t like it but some people use it
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Fair point, Well made. I will take what you say under advisement. Considering I love vinegar, it would not go to waste. The yeast question was more a case of: Does it affect the length of time it takes to fully ferment? Is Wine Yeast Faster Or Same amount of time?
Oh my days! I bought 101bs bananas in my Asian store for £1.00 to-day and saw your recipe, how quick and easy. and oh my days that beautiful elephant what a bonus, is he a rescued ele? what country are you ? luv n light to you and Eli x
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Wow! I Keep watching I just adore that elephant. For sure I prepared the wine yesterday and will update you after 1 month luv n light x
Hi! I used dark brown sugar instead of muscovado sugar, and active dry yeast instead of wine yeast. It's been only 4 days and the fermentation already stopped. I keep it at room temperature and all that. So should I still wait 3 more days or can I already put it in the other container? Thanks!
should keep a win in Refrigerator after bottling ?here room temprature up to 32 c,can i keep in room temprature or is damging my wine?plz answer it .i afride all my wine get worse
Great job, Andre! You’ve just made me to try winemaking for the first time)) a couple questions from first timer while I’m waiting for the equipment delivery: where do you keep the fermenter within the fermentation process? Do you need to check it/ shake it everyday? Many thanks and take care!
Btw, do you get all your gears sterilized? I’ve made some research and most of the wine/beer homemakers point that it’s crucial. At the same time you haven’t mentioned this in all your videos. Sterilizing makes things more complicated, so I’d like to make sure before my first attempt. Thanks in advance!
Also after my research I decided to switch from a cup of tea to the oak chips - regarding the tannins balancing. Do you think it makes sense? Another idea is to use both - tea at the first phase of fermentation and chips for the second one. Your opinion is very appreciated!
To replace the putting of sugars can one use coconut water? I suppose replacing, both, the sugars and the plain water. All coconut water for this recipe is possible for a good wine? I ask for the sake of the ancestors who did not have sugar. Thanks.
I made this banana wine, but I didn't achieve the same color as yours. Did you employ any specific techniques or products to make it clearer? A slight sour aroma is normal? (I'm not sure if "sour" is the right word).
you said better to check airlock in older comments to know if fermentation is done. what should i look for in the airlock to know the fermentation is done? thanks
I’d didn’t have a lemon, I have Covid so I can’t go out, but I do have a orange so I put that in it, it’s all in the sink at the moment cooling down (in a bucket) I’ll give an update in 15 days time, a very easy on the eye video. Cool beans man👍
Throw away the extracted bananas? Why even mention it? Of course everyone should give those extracted bananas to their elephant. Hmmmmph... what else should we do with our spent bananas!? I am loving it!!! 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌
In your previous banana wine video you added water to the yeast but in this video you added dry yeast. Does it make a difference in the wine using dry versus liquid yeast?
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato honestly i think it was a texture thing because i liked banana flavored things like banana bread and stuff, i just couldn't stand actual bananas.
I wonder what is the difference in taste of that wine compared to banana wine video 7 years prior. To be specific, was last one more sweet or is as dry as this one?
I have made this banana honey like syrup from the One day one recipe channel twice. Were you make a broth using the banana skins, remove the skins from water when done and add coconut sugar. Then let simmer until it's thick as honey. The first time I made it I used two liters of coconut water instead of water and used the juice and zest of one lemon, because I felt the syrup needed some acidity. The second time I made it I used one liter of coconut water and about 250 ml of bourbon. Both times I had script off the banana curd from the banana skins, pureed it with the lemon zest, some butter and raw orange blossom honey. That made a pretty good spread.
I have done this recipe before, I must say it’s really spectacular, I used Lalvin EC 1118 yeast, but you forgot to mention which yeast you used if from China I guess Angel Yeast? So please say what you have used, I still have a kilo in the freezer, I just need another 2Kg’s but I will distill it afterwards, 😅 Grazie and Ciao ciao
Hi after I put my wine in the second fermenter I haven’t been getting and gas bubbles nor foam. It’s very still with no action. Does this mean the process has gone wrong, I have had it in the second fermenter for 5 days now
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato it’s not completely transparent but it quite clear with a small bit of settlement. It was in the fruit for 7 days and when I transferred it didn’t have anymore fermentation
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato ok I will bottle it after a few days and let you know how it went, I will slightly carbonate it and leave a litre still
Hi.. I did your recipe on this November 18 2023. Even I have added campden tablets. I have sanitised with it and added along with wine yeast. But unfortunately I couldn’t find my airlock so I put ballon to my brew bucket. Today ( oct 22 2023) I have received my airlock from online . I opened today my brew bucket lid , but there are white patches on floating banana pieces . Is that fungus or it’s common? did I spoil my banana wine batch 😭. I took photo also for my future reference. What do I do now? How should I know whether it has spoiled or not ? Please bro.. I need your advise . I thought I did my first experiment successfully but seems I failed 😞. How can I show that picture to you ? I will be very glad if you can reply for my problem . Thank you
Can you give instruction for making this wine without an elephant ? We got bananas in Norway, but noe free running elephants ? Will the wine ferment in a similar way without the elephant ? Can I substitute it with a moose, maybe ?
Cannot go wrong with an Italian wine instructor.
Excellent teacher

Great video! congrats! Eres un crack! Hice lonzinos a partir de tu video y salieron excelente! Let´s cook if you ever come to CDMX!
Thanks 😉 I will be very happy
i hated bananas when i was a kid but i love them now!
😂 do you remember why?
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato honestly i think it was a texture thing because i liked banana flavored things like banana bread and stuff, i just couldn't stand actual bananas.
Ok 👌🏼 I can understand. If you visit Thailand or Malaysia you MUST try fried bananas 🤪 🥳
Brother, is it ok to use grapes if you don't have any yeast?
Yes 👍🏼
Is it possible to do this without cooking like with your mango wine recipe?
Thanks a lot for these videos ❤
Yes 👍🏼 it is
Cheers from the Philippine Bananà Republic!❤
🥳 thanks
Did you keep it 8 day in the second fermenter or 15 days, that means in total 22 with the first fermenter
15 days but better to check the airlock
I wonder what is the difference in taste of that wine compared to banana wine video 7 years prior. To be specific, was last one more sweet or is as dry as this one?
The other was more sweet but I have used a different yeast
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Ok, thank you.
@krycha885687 keep us updated 😉
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato sure will. As for now I’m enjoying spectacular mango wine 😄.
@krycha885687 🥳
I have made this banana honey like syrup from the One day one recipe channel twice. Were you make a broth using the banana skins, remove the skins from water when done and add coconut sugar. Then let simmer until it's thick as honey. The first time I made it I used two liters of coconut water instead of water and used the juice and zest of one lemon, because I felt the syrup needed some acidity. The second time I made it I used one liter of coconut water and about 250 ml of bourbon. Both times I had script off the banana curd from the banana skins, pureed it with the lemon zest, some butter and raw orange blossom honey. That made a pretty good spread.
Thanks for sharing your experience 👍🏼 I never tried 🤔 maybe in the future
How long you can stoar it,one month or two months or year?
1 year
Is it safe to drink it before it has been properly fermented?
Yes 👍🏼
Can we use the yeast made of apple or grape here?
Sure 👍🏼
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolatoI started making this! Using half of the apple yeast I made! Now I gotta wait for 7 days...😊
I’m thinking the wine was on the dry side or sweet? Excellent video!
Dry
😊 Dès que je trouve un éléphant je commence la recette. Merci
Bravo 👏🏼
You have such a Friend
to help you with the chopped Banana!
🍌🐘 🖤
Yes 🤪 spectacular friend 😉
I have done this recipe before, I must say it’s really spectacular, I used Lalvin EC 1118 yeast, but you forgot to mention which yeast you used if from China I guess Angel Yeast? So please say what you have used,
I still have a kilo in the freezer, I just need another 2Kg’s but I will distill it afterwards, 😅
Grazie and Ciao ciao
😂 yes 👍🏼 angel yeast
Hi after I put my wine in the second fermenter I haven’t been getting and gas bubbles nor foam. It’s very still with no action. Does this mean the process has gone wrong, I have had it in the second fermenter for 5 days now
How is it the color? Is it transparent?
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato it’s not completely transparent but it quite clear with a small bit of settlement. It was in the fruit for 7 days and when I transferred it didn’t have anymore fermentation
Ok 👍🏼 wait 2 days just in case but probably it’s ready
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato ok I will bottle it after a few days and let you know how it went, I will slightly carbonate it and leave a litre still
Perfect 🤩
Hi.. I did your recipe on this November 18 2023. Even I have added campden tablets. I have sanitised with it and added along with wine yeast. But unfortunately I couldn’t find my airlock so I put ballon to my brew bucket. Today ( oct 22 2023) I have received my airlock from online . I opened today my brew bucket lid , but there are white patches on floating banana pieces . Is that fungus or it’s common? did I spoil my banana wine batch 😭. I took photo also for my future reference. What do I do now? How should I know whether it has spoiled or not ? Please bro.. I need your advise . I thought I did my first experiment successfully but seems I failed 😞. How can I show that picture to you ? I will be very glad if you can reply for my problem . Thank you

Can you give instruction for making this wine without an elephant ? We got bananas in Norway, but noe free running elephants ? Will the wine ferment in a similar way without the elephant ? Can I substitute it with a moose, maybe ?
Sorry 😬 but the elephant 🐘 is very important 🤪🤩🥳😂
I see that there is a lot of headspace in your fermenter especially in the primary one. Is that OK? Is'nt there a danger of oxidisation?
Ok 👍🏼
Good job sir. Love from India
Thanks ☺️
Is the tea optional? Or is it a must?
Optional
Can i use any banana or do i have to use the banana you used?
Any 👍🏼 more sweet better it is 😉
Superrrrrrr......... & and am shocked in Italy elephant?
I am in Thailand 🐘
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato oh u r settled in?
Yes 👍🏼
Can we add half of the sugar, 400 g, on the second or third day of the fermentation?
that should work but make sure to dissolve the sugar otherwise the grains will act as nucleationsites for bubles to release and it will foam over
Why? 🤔
Thanks for the explanation 👍🏼
