Ah, banana brandy moonshine ? the wet (literally) dream of any fruit brandy lover.
The best part about doing this type of moonshine is that it?s fairly simple to make. You don?t have to play around with temperature stages or sophisticated grain preparation methods. Just blend the bananas, add sugar, water, yeast, and there?s your mash bubbling away!
However, the yeast choice is an important factor here as you?ll be fermenting a slightly different type of sugar than you normally do with corn or grains.
So make sure to read our guide on moonshine yeast to get the most flavor out of this recipe.
I'm so excited to prepare so many #recipes of #drinks, #cocktails, #Moonshine, #food - I'm ready to get down to work! #Moonshinerecipe

Notes
Your final proof and flavor will largely depend on the type of still used.
Make sure to pick only ripe bananas that are full of flavor, avoid the green ones.
The moonshine is good to drink right after distillation, however you can play around with barrel-aging to get a more complex flavor profile.
Picking the right type of yeast will have a significant impact on flavor, so we strongly recommend reading our guide on the moonshine yeast types.

Thanks. I actually read this after I began fermenting my first batch but u thin I got it right.
Im a distiller:
Banana brandy is best (my opine)skip the table sugar,and what i do is get my fruit in an igloo ice chest and i get my water up to 177 Fahrenheit boiling and then i use it as hot? strike water?I recommend 4 pounds per gallon of water.
Your cooler with its insulation will hold the temp 7 hours or so,i will strain the solids and do a clean ferment with i like the red star Champagne yeast that ferments dry.if you would rather utilize the solids throw in a few ?Beeno?amylase
It will get you every sugar out of starch.
I avoid table sugar in my spirits.
What kind of sugar do you use?
Ok , so I wanna do a 20 gallon mash . Are u saying 4 pounds of fruit per gallon of water ?
How big of a fermentation bucket should I use? I have 6 gallon buckets.
What’s rack the wash off mean?
Banana mash can foam up and overflow your container when fermenting. Be careful
