One theory about artificial banana flavor is that is developed based on the Gros Michel variety, which were virtually wiped out by a fungal blight and is no longer commercially viable. Currently, Cavendish are the type that you usually find in stores. The Gros Michel tastes much more like artificial banana.

I made a banana wine recently, it was pretty darn good after finishing in 6 days. That was a week ago, and I'm waiting another week to see if the fruit flavors have come out more. I boiled the banana and skins for an hour, strained it, added yeast, then minced pineapple 3 days later.

That imitation banana flavor is actually Isoamyl acetate. The yeast you used is known to produce a lot of it, when in non banana type things. Using it with bananas I imagine really produces a ton of it. I'm going to be trying this one out soon, with some D47.

"Oh look! A hairless ape!" Howard the Duck Theory craft: making the banana wine as you have. But use brown sugar only. After racking and whatnot add a half ounce or a full ounce of rum soaked oak "shaving" (you using it in a couple of videos ago that someone gave you guys) For a hint of that rum flavor and after it ages a bit. I think the flavor profile would be more akin to Bannanas Foster.

The artificial banana flavor is based off an extinct species of banana, known as the Gros Michels, which was the main banana crop up until the 1950's when there was a plague that effectively killed that variety, the banana that we know today was resistant to the fungal plague
@patrickwilliams3108 4 жыл бұрын
Gros Michel bananas are not extinct, it's just that because of the blight it makes no sense to try to grow them commercially. There are 2 or 3 orchards in Florida that still grow them and they are quite common in Southeast Asia.

I’m thinking that once this is done, this will be WAY better and no need to mix it with anything... unless you want to. Added plus: that weird green colour won’t be there. Food coloring isn’t my thing anyways. Unless it’s natural. I highly doubt the company making that mixer use nantural colorants.

One of my bottles (only one that i tasted, still in fermentation) is extremely sour, have i made a vinegar? Theres no other signs of the wine going bad and when i added a lot of sugar it didnt taste bad. But would sweetened banana vinegar taste bad with enough sugar? Is there a way to possibly tell if its gone bad? Is there a possibility for fruit wines to taste super tart when dry?

Barry Drake if you’ve used butterfly pea flower, does it change colour when you add an acid like lemon juice? Several gins use butterfly pea as a ph indicator...

I think leaving the big bag in there affected the taste. Also the fact you mixed raw skin on bananas and frozen ones together which may have given it diffeeent flavour consistency. I am Indian so I Know my Alcohol. Otherwise, fermenting with real fruits is the best way to make wine and cider beers. Super good taste and buzzy high feeling 🍺🥃🍷

Not sure what you're trying to say. This is how banana wines come out. I'm a longtime brewer with tons of experience, so I know my alcohol, lol.

isn't the imitation banana imitating the previous sort of banana we used to cultivate? it mostly got dead cause all of the trees were clones so when a disease hit it it just got wiped.

Monkeys aren't "banana experts". Monkeys in the wild almost never come across bananas to eat, because the edible banana is a cultivated, domesticated plant. Monkeys *in captivity* are given bananas as a sweet treat, but that doesn't make them any more banana experts than humans.
