This is how you make wine from fruit. This banana wine recipe is easy to make and the cheapest wine you can make because bananas are available all year long. This is the only wine recipe you will ever need to make any fruit wines. This video concentrates on the making of wine directly from fresh picked fruit or frozen fruit. (Bananas) It is relatively simple once you know the equipment you need and the necessary ingredients and the process of turning fruit into wine.

It is a great hobby and if you like wine, you can not beat homemade wine that you have made. You can share with your friends or just keep it all to yourself. Once you get the equipment and ingredients you can make wine from .50 cents per bottle to 3.00 dollars per bottle which is cheap.
So if you are just starting out in the hobby, give it a try it really is not that hard to do yourself. You don't need a lot of fancy equipment, even though it makes it easier sometimes. I've seen people make wine out of soda bottles, milk jugs and everything in between.
Feel free to reach out to me anytime and I will gladly help you along in your hobby, because that is what this channel is all about. Share How To videos of things I have learned over the years to make life easier. Work smarter not harder as they say.

Hi Todd and Laura, just wanted to tell you I just bottled 24 bottles of banana wine in 31 days this morning. I just finished a couple chilled glasses late this afternoon. As Todd would say "It is amazing!". I truly love the Pineapple Wine, but I am with Laura.....I double love the Banana Wine!! A tremendous flavor! I have Mixed Berry in my Primary right now. I will take another hydrometer reading tomorrow on Day 16. It is still bubbling a lot....every 5 seconds in the airlock. Thanks for all you do!!

I've vacuum degassed using a brake bleeder from Harbor Freight. One of these days I may spring for the $100 vac pump (used by AC techs) but I want to try using my 1 gallon wet/dry vac after modifying hose with a vent valve to regulate the amount of vacuum (the wine foams up pretty violently at the beginning of degassing). The paddle flail chucked in a cordless drill worked great but I feel I get better results with the vacuum method.

I recently came across your videos Ken. I am impressed with your easy attitude and style, but more so with the easily understood and clear way of showing us how YOU do it. There are literally endless ways to go about it, but your way suits me best so far, and I'm learning things form you to boot. I was taken with the simplicity of your almost generic frozen fruit recipe, it fits a half dozen or more fruit wines from frozen fresh to fresh concentrates and fresh pressed or cut fruits. And whether it is a 1 gallon or a 5 gallon batch, it is pretty much a linear recipe which works on all of them. It makes winemaking a better experience as far as I'm concerned. I'm hooked after many years of working my butt to the bone, and then retiring to finally start out with beer brewing and a bit of distilling. I'm pretty much having a blast doing the same thing that you are doing, but of course not copying your methods completely, as I have a personality of my own. Between the waiting times I can still experiment with the alcohols for flavors, methods and diversity of characters, although I think I prefer brewing better. So far, I have started with a one gallon batch of Blueberry, and will stagger the starts of Black berry, Strawberry and Banana about a week apart so I can have my fun on a more regulated note. Bananas, lol, I loved that idea! I am going to test things out and see what happens with this new hobby, but I'm pretty sure that it will stick, as the attention spans and physical inputs needed are spaced out enough to not burn myself out and keep things interesting, and this is exactly what I was looking for, a full time part time hobby. I've had the equipment sitting around for quite a few years already with retirement in mind, and here I am, finding interesting individuals who can grab my attention with their metods and techniques. I love to learn learn about the intricate nuances of flavoring, process and technique...and sipping, tasting and drinking wine of course. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching your way and your techniques Ken, I'll be watching. Best regards.

Couldn’t resist reacting to your wonderful comment. My first ever foray into home brewing was over 30 years ago. Even though I had to dial it down significantly due to a significant other who vehemently disapproved of it due to it being ‘weird’ to him, I never abandoned it completely and happily returned to it at a higher pace afterwards. I couldn’t agree more that it’s a fulltime-part time hobby. The time investment is in bursts and when life happens and things get busy, putting off a step doesn’t matter all that much unless you’re bottle conditioning with heat stabilisation, or macerating something before pitching your yeast. It’s a laid back hobby that can fit into a busy schedule or one with loads of free time. It can be as cheap or expensive as you want depending on the ingredients you choose. The equipment is re-usable and relatively inexpensive unless you’re into filters, electronic hydrometers etc which, frankly, are unnecessary. Once you have the basic kit all you need are sanitiser, yeast, water and the ingredients of your choice. Bottles can be re-used. Every batch is a new adventure. Even when making a recipe you’ve made before, results might slightly vary. Sourcing ingredients and trying new recipes is fun (especially if you happen to come across free ingredients like donated bumper crops, or foraged wild fruit) Sharing the end product is a joy as well. Perhaps in time you’ll want to investigate the possibilities of ciders and meads as well. Similar process yet such a different end result! I hope you stick with it. Happy brewing!

@@HowToDoneRight - Thank you! 🤩 Just a little note: it’s Edda with an ‘a’ at the end… Don’t worry though: that name is so rare that in 75% of the times people think it’s a typo and they call me Eddie or Eddy. Our styles are different, I tend to not use stabilisers (I use heat) because unfortunately I have a sensitivity to sorbates and sulphates. To avoid issues with wild yeasts I pitch more yeast or make a strong starter in a sterile solution. Where sanitising, taking gravity measurements and other simple, common sense good practice are concerned I’m completely aligned with you. And THANK YOU for telling your viewers to take their time! I’ve seen so many videos where unfinished wines, meads and ciders are being bottled it makes me shudder. “Tasty fruit wine in three days!”, “Cider in one week! All natural!” No sanitising, pouring instead of racking and the cherry in top: “filtering” through cheesecloth or coffee filters. Yikes. My grandmother guided my first steps in home brewing. I can still hear her telling me to “never be lazy about cleanliness - but be lazy between steps.” Let it sit. Give it time. Use your eyes, ears, nose, palate, and brain. They will tell you when it’s time. Even though I’ve modernised, I still brew by those tenets. You seem to do the same.

@jasonthrash4357 2 жыл бұрын

It is interesting to watch how others brew. I myself like to keep it as natural as possible. I stabilize using 2 methods. Taking the brew to the alcohol tolerance of the yeast. The only problem doing it that way is the ABV is high and it takes the wine longer to mature. Most of the time I back sweeten around 12% ABV then I pasteurize using a Sous Vide immersion circulator. I only go to 145 degrees to kill only yeast. Either way I have never had bottle bombs. It is much easier to use the chemicals though. I have some banana wine in second racking settling out. Mine has a amber look to it since I used white and brown sugar. It smelled so good when racking. I Enjoy watching your videos.

hey! I'm just starting to make my first home wine and i'm very grateful that i came across this channel! I'm going to try out this recipe, and i really appreciate your detailed videos showing every step of the process, so thank you! I do have a question i'm thinking about. I'd like to start out by making smaller batches at first. Is there a downside to using a 30 Liter fermentor and only making 10-15 liters of wine in it? Will the extra air affect the fermentation especially when you open the lid every day at first?

@HowToDoneRight 2 жыл бұрын

Great question and thanks for watching the channel. In general you only want 20 to 25 percent headspace in primary fermenter. You will be at 50 percent. I would not suggest it. Technically co2 should fill headspace and force oxygen out with airlock. Instead of opening the lid to stir you could just carefully shake it or swirl bucket and not remove lid. Still risky with so much headspace. Much success in the hobby and let me know how your wine turns out.👍👍🍷🍷🍹🍹

hi i'm following your banana wine recipe. at first i added too much water and you recommended adding a bit more sugar water before adding the yeast. and i did. and it worked. it has already gone through primary fermentation and per my calculations it's gonna end up being about 18% alcohol, at least nominally. but i had to add some water to finish filling up the carboy, so that should decrease the alcohol a bit, and when move it to the other carboy with bentonite i will probably need to add more water so i figure it will end up closer to 15%. the doubt i have is about when to start filtering with bentonite. you recommend about 30-45 days before moving it. but my wine was just like yours, the color of unfiltered apple juice on the first day. it's been 2 weeks and it already is a honey color, and i can kinda see my hand if i look straight thought the carboy. should i filter it now? or should i wait the entire 30-45 days? it's a 1 gallon batch. also i still havent done wine, so i have a question about bottles. are 750ml wine bottles standard? if i buy a bunch of them online should the same corks fit all of them?

@HowToDoneRight Жыл бұрын

Great questions and yes you can filter now if you are satisfied with the settling but never hurts to wait either. Don't rush Wine making you will have better results if you wait. Yes corks will fit all your standard 750 ml bottles. It's all about aging with the cork sizes. Be sure to watch my cork video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndiPhsSKm66sfGg.html

If it's not clear 7 days later, I should rack it off the bentonite and allow it to clear for 30 days with no bentonite? Then 30 days later add bentonite or should it sit for 30 days on the bentonite with the expectation that I will have to rack it then add more bentonite? Sorry I'm confused. Love the video. It inspired me.

Just stir for 3 days... then let it sit for 30 to 45 more days with bentonite in it until its clear.

I was trying to make the banana wine and it smelled and tasted great when I was starting it. It was at 11%avb when I put it into the carboy after a few days I was wondering what the smell and taste was I took the top off and put a sterile straw to take a little out to taste it and there was no banana taste at all it was all just alcohol taste. What do I do to get the banana flavor back or do I just need to continue to wait.

Every batch of wine the color will be different. Temperature and light will alter color and every banana ripeness will differ. So shoot for the taste and clarity not necessarily the color of your wine.

Interesting. Being an additive, is there a concern that bentonite will alter the result (flavor,etc)? You never degas and I'm curious your reasoning. Being new to this hobby, my 'finishing' process is going to be something like cold crash, rack, degas and pasteurize. The pasteurize step is to guard against fermentation after bottling. It seems like you don't do any of those steps!! Can I ask your reasoning? How do you make sure fermentation doesn't occur after bottling? Now is the time for me to ask and learn. I'm finding out that each brewer has a process, and it seems like none are really wrong, just preference with some known processes and systems.

@HowToDoneRight Жыл бұрын

Bentonite will not alter flavor... degassing just can add unnecessary oxygen to your wine... but stirring my bentonite will do some degassing... commercial wine makers never degas wine. That is old school wine makers degassing wine. Lol
