@@wouterja356 Ultimately, all units are somewhat arbitrary in origin, but the metric system is reasonably less arbitrary. For example, a meter was originally defined as 1/10,000,000th of the distance from the Earth's equator to the poles.

[@V-C137]

Noticing the 2 DIY airlocks in the background, I’d suggest having a longer pipe & the jar of water on the ground, below the level of whatever’s in the fermenter to avoid the possibility of the water siphoning into the fermenter. Sometimes after the fermentation has finished & there’s a change in air pressure because of weather changes (hot/cold), the fermenter can draw in air or water if your airlock is like this. 1:00

[@johanpretorius3759]

Awesome video! another one to put on my "bucket" list :-)

[@petermcmurtrie]

Ive just been given a few kilos of ripening Bananas. Perfect timing to give this reciepe a try out. Thanks for sharing Beaver. 🙂👍

[@gunghoadventures871]

Very lekker

[@ParadigmUnkn0wn]

The "banana" flavor (and other "funky" flavors) in rum generally comes from esters that develop as a result of the natural fermentation process and the inclusion of the dunder left from the previous batch. Technically you're making some kind of cross between waragi and rum. Naming technicalities aside, I really wish I could try this, because it seems like an awesome recipe that should produce some really tasty spirits and it's a lot more practical than "traditional" rum production that takes several batches before the dunder matures and starts giving those funky notes that make Jamaican style rum so special.

[@rikiyul]

[@rogergibbs2937]

Trust the man when he says leave plenty of head room. If I hadn't woke up at 2am to answer a call of nature and by accident checked my fermenter it had the potential to explode, the airlock blocked with banana sludge. I ripped out the airlock and decorated my ceiling. Very sticky and messy cleanup.

I assume you will distill the fermented wash once it's done? Also, given that you've added bananas to it would I be right in saying that technically this is not rum but a rum-brandy mixture of some sort?

[@JT-il3fe]

Great video but one thing those bananas weren’t very ripe, very ripe bananas are almost completely black. It’s also what makes the best banana bread.

Nice brew, bru!

Thanks

[@DjKSauce]

Hey beaver I was JW if you had any tips if I wanted to go for a more “authentic” rum and not use as much sugar and double or triple up on the molasses

[@CalvinsCorner72]

Should check specific gravity before pitching yeast

[@liuheng9336]

hi.. I’m curious why there is no step of distillation process? anyone could help me to figure out . Thanks

[@Jurinich]

Black ones are best!

[@cakekookabura]

This would technically be a banana brandy instead of rum. It'd be a banana rum if you added the banana after distilling, but because the yeast also made alcohol from the sugar in the bananas, it'd be a brandy. Rum can only use sugars from the sugarcane plant like sugar, molasses, etc.

[@OWK000]

For a quickie, gently fry halved lengthwise ripe or overripe bananas in butter at low temp. When browned tip into a bowl and pour already made rum or brandy on top. Enjoy. Yum.

[@rickmilkovic]

Hey B ,great video. This is very close to how I make mine. A slightly different process and dark brown sugar little more molasses and couple extra bananas and 1/3 backset on bakers yeast

[@pierreerasmus7005]

Living out in the country i do not have access to fancy yeast ... how does the bakers yeast do?

[@rickmilkovic]

@@pierreerasmus7005 bakers, or bread yeast works very well for me. It can be used to make any type of alcohol. It depends on your preferences. It does have its limits as far as alcohol tolerance but my washes are between 8% and 12% and experience good results. I hope this helps.

[@pierreerasmus7005]

i agree!!!

[@krzysswiston1026]

I did that receipe, all that fun peeling bananas, pulping them into goo, really cool, yet in rum itself i had no 🍌 flavor, maybe i did distilled it too high ABV, ???, Dont know. But i also think that mr.B has access to fruits from garden. I am based in Poland where tropical fruits are imported. Anyway final product was good , booz is booz 😄 made a great drink at wifey Bday party with it, .... Thanks 👍

[@BEAVERDIY]

Yeah, it is awesome having access to fresh fruit and plenty of it to play with. Thank you for the super comment.

I have just stumbled across this channel and this recipe interested me, As I always like to do a few experimental washes each year. A good video thank you very much. Have yourtried using the back set to make a dunder pit? I am not sure how the banana would affect the Dunder though.

[@BEAVERDIY]

Hi Paul, I have not yet played around with dunder, I did do a generation run on a rum but not the lac infected dunder pit yet. Planning on doing a series on rum and the deconstruction of rum to see what flavors you can develop with changes in the recipes.

[@TheLanges]

How much water do you mix with the sugar and how much citric acid

[@geo0salonica]

great recipe, looking forward to the next part. Two questions: 1. Is there any danger due to boiling the molasses for 20 minutes, some of the fermentable sugars to be converted to unfermentable? 2. the molasses look very watery by the time you put it inside the pot with the sugar. Did you heat the molasses previously or maybe dissolve the molasses in hot water?

[@rezahakim3986]

Pure molasses is thick and can be thicker than honey, from what I saw , the molasses appear to be watered down

[@mudithasenananayake4199]

[@WAREW0]

можно по другому сварить бананы типа осахоревание до 50 град. как в пиве а после залить сахара и мелассу уже в бутыль при остывании.

[@Edgunsuk]

There is an epidemic of alcoholism in parts of Africa fuelled by banana brandy , videos on you tube about it, they leave the bananas turn black , i think you could have gone a little more to the dark side , PS subscribed , im trying this and hello from wales !

[@BEAVERDIY]

Jip that is true Wagari is a crazy thing. For this recipe I was looking for both the fresh and over ripe flavor that is why I went with the slightly brown and not all the way ripe

[@rielcolyn4928]

Hi please advise (a) where do we get the correct grape juice for the brandy/ and (b) how much yeast goes into the banana rum? Love your videos

[@BEAVERDIY]

Grape juice from Foodlovers is great

[@oggiai]

It doesn't really matter how much yeast you add because the yeast will multiply like crazy and will all die off when it's done. You just need to add at least enough to get it started, so a tablespoon is enough, but more won't hurt. It looks like he added a half a cup, which is a lot more than I normally add to 5 gallons of grapes.

[@jahliones12]

what kind use instead of molasse?

[@actanonverba1385]

How much yeast did you put into that batch?

[@hamesjoplinsr2732]

How much yeast did you add? Thanks

[@fessah3467]

Is that it? Do you drink it from those jugs or do you have to distill it ?

[@charlespartrick528]

Can you put the bananas in the freezer to accelerate the amylase?

How well do those water jugs work as fermenters? Been eyeballing them for awhile now. I usually buy my water by the gallons.

[@BEAVERDIY]

I have .been using them for years a bit of a hassel to clean but good. And cheap

[@rhumproductions5802]

Wanna try this out. but what is the amount of water you use in the recipe? 20 liters?

[@BEAVERDIY]

Hi Rhum, Not sure what the exact amount is I combine all the ingredients and then top it up to the wanted volume.

[@jdizzall889]

is it possible to add dark choclate to the mix without it turning sour ?

[@rebmanprincew]

Thanks for the video, but how many days for fermentation and no need of any clearing or fining agents?

[@BEAVERDIY]

Fermentation took 7 days, and 2 days to clear, yeast dropped out naturally

[@Byronic_Man]

Since its distilled from a banana brew,I think it should be called Brandy rather than Rum. Correct me if I'm wrong. Edit: But since you used molasses,yeah it qualifies as rum 👍

[@thewolfethatcould8878]

Super interesting and no doubt smells delicious! Would black strap molasses work? Here from Bearded & Bored.

[@msparamin3285]

I added 2 cup sticky rice, making it a stronger alcohol

[@yourleftisttesticle]

@Adrian Morvik additional starch in the rice is converted to alcohol by the amylase of the bananas. Yielding additional ethanol for the wash.

[@geo0salonica]

Hi Beaver, did the banana pass into the final distillate? And how intense is it? Is it a bold banana flavour or more like a banana hint?
