Oak barrels. Banana wine at home: recipes and preparation features Assembling a distillation cube based on a multicooker

Homemade banana wine is an aromatic honey-colored drink with light notes of the raw material, the taste is difficult to compare with anything. The preparation technology is somewhat different from traditional winemaking, since the fruits do not release juice and other substances well, but even beginners can do the recipe.

Wine requires any ripe bananas. They will be suitable even with blackened skin, as long as the flesh is not rotten or moldy. To avoid contaminating the wort with pathogenic microorganisms, all containers and instruments used should be sterilized with boiling water, then wiped dry with a clean cloth.

Ingredients:

• bananas – 5 kg;
• water – 10 liters;
• sugar – 2 kg;
• citric acid – 7 teaspoons (35 grams);
• unwashed raisins (any fresh berries) - 100 grams or wine yeast per 15 liters of wort.

Citric acid is needed to increase acidity and break down sugar into fructose and glucose, which promotes fermentation, improves taste, increases shelf life and prevents the appearance of some wine diseases. To activate fermentation, wine yeast is required (other types are not suitable) or raisin starter (you can use fresh berries).

Banana wine recipe

1. If there is no wine yeast, 3-5 days before processing the bananas, make a starter from unwashed raisins (raspberries, currants, cherries, etc.): pour the raisins or berries into a jar, add 25 grams of sugar and 250 ml of unboiled water , mix, cover with gauze, place in a dark place at room temperature.

After 2-3 days, the starter will be ready - foam will appear, a slight sour smell will appear and a hiss will be heard.

2. Peel bananas. Grind the pulp with your hands, a wooden rolling pin or a meat grinder until pureed.

It is not advisable to make wine with banana peels because the peels are treated with toxic chemicals to increase shelf life.

3. Mix 5 liters of water (half), 1 kg of sugar (half), banana puree and citric acid in an enamel saucepan. Bring the mixture to a homogeneous consistency.

4. Heat the wort to 55-58°C, maintain the specified temperature range for 60 minutes, warming the pan over low heat. Stir occasionally so that the mixture remains homogeneous and there are no lumps at the bottom.

It is very important not to let the temperature rise above 60°C, otherwise the enzymes will be destroyed and the release of fructose from bananas and sugar will stop. As a result, some of the raw materials will be wasted.

5. Cool the wort to 25-27°C. Add the remaining water and sourdough (along with raisins) or wine yeast. Mix. Cover with gauze and leave for 4 days in a dark place at room temperature. Stir once every 12 hours with a clean hand or a wooden stick. After 3-8 hours, foam and the smell of fermentation should appear on the surface.

6. After 4 days, strain the wort through 4-5 layers of gauze, squeeze the cake well, removing all the liquid. No more squeezes needed. Add 500 grams of sugar to the liquid part and mix.

7. Pour the resulting banana juice into a fermentation container. Fill to a maximum of 60-65% of the volume. Install a water seal of any design on the neck (you can pull on and secure a medical glove with a small hole in one of the fingers).

Attention! When fermenting banana wine, a lot of foam appears during the first 6-10 days, so I advise you to fill the container halfway or even less.

8. Transfer the container to a dark place (or cover) with a stable temperature of 18-27°C and leave until the end of fermentation.

9. After 5 days from the moment of installing the water seal, add the remaining sugar (500 grams). To do this, pour 250 ml of wort through a tube into a separate container, dilute sugar in it, pour the resulting syrup back into the fermentation container and close it with a water seal.

10. Depending on the activity of yeast and temperature, homemade banana wine ferments for 30-60 days. The end of fermentation is indicated by the absence of gas from the water seal (the glove is deflated) and a layer of sediment. You need to drain the young wine through a straw, without touching the sediment at the bottom, into another container.

If fermentation does not stop after 50 days from the start of preparation, drain the wine from the sediment and leave to ferment at the same temperature, otherwise bitterness may appear.

11. Taste the drink. If desired, sweeten with sugar (to taste) or fix with vodka (alcohol) in an amount of 2-15% of the volume of drained wine. Hardening promotes storage but makes the taste somewhat harsh.

12. Pour the wine into storage containers. To minimize contact with oxygen, it is advisable to fill to the top. Close tightly. If sugar was added at the previous stage, I recommend keeping it under a water seal for the first 7-10 days in case of repeated fermentation.

13. Transfer banana wine to a refrigerator or basement at a temperature of 5-16°C. Leave for at least 4 months (preferably 7-8). Aging significantly improves the taste.

14. Every 15-20 days (then less often), as sediment appears in a layer of 3-5 cm, filter the wine by pouring through a straw into another container.

15. When no sediment appears, homemade banana wine is ready. The drink can be poured into bottles and capped. Shelf life – up to 3 years. Strength – 9-12%.

The simplest and at the same time original way to pleasantly surprise your loved ones and friends is to invite them to taste banana wine. Exotic light alcohol has an unforgettable and unique taste, as well as a special tropical aroma.

The original recipe for banana wine came to us from distant Latin America, where abundant harvests of delicious and aromatic tropical fruits are harvested. So, let's find out how to make exotic wine from bananas using a simple, time-tested recipe that can be easily implemented at home.

Step-by-step preparation

Preparation

Fermentation stage

1. Stir everything thoroughly, cover the pan with gauze and send it to the same dark place for about 4-5 days. Approximately 6-8 hours after the start of fermentation, foam and a noticeable smell of fermentation should appear on the surface of the wort. Do not forget to thoroughly stir the mass every day with a clean hand or using a wooden spatula.
2. We strain the fermented wort through multi-layer cheesecloth, while squeezing the resulting cake well, trying to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. If necessary, repeat the procedure twice.
3. Add half a kilogram of sugar to the purified liquid and stir everything thoroughly.
4. Pour the resulting mixture into the fermentation container, filling it to a maximum of 60 percent of its volume.
5. We install the water seal - you can use a medical glove, after making a small hole in one of the fingers.
6. We place the container in a dark place where the temperature does not drop below 18-20 degrees, and leave the mass there until the end of the fermentation process.
7. After five days after installing the water seal, add the remaining granulated sugar. To do this, you need to pour about 200-240 ml of wort from the container using a straw and dilute sugar in it, after which the resulting syrup is returned back to the fermentation container and the water seal is installed again.
8. We are waiting for the end of fermentation. On average, banana wine ferments anywhere from 40 to 50 days. Fermentation is complete when carbon dioxide ceases to be released and a layer of sediment has formed.

The final stage

1. Carefully drain the new wine using a straw, trying not to touch the sediment at the bottom of the container.
2. Let's taste the drink. If necessary, sweeten with sugar or fix with vodka or alcohol. Fixing with alcohol promotes longer storage, but at the same time makes the taste slightly harsh and increases the strength of homemade alcohol. If sugar is added again, we strengthen the water seal again and return the vessel to its original place for about a week.
3. Pour the finished wine into three-liter glass jars, filling them to the very neck to minimize contact with oxygen.
4. We seal the jars hermetically and put them in the refrigerator or any other cool place.
5. We allow the alcohol to mature for at least 4 months, and preferably 7-8. Long aging will definitely improve the taste of the drink.
6. Every 17-21 days, as a sediment 4-5 cm thick appears, filter the liquid, draining it from the sediment through a tube into another container.
7. When sediment stops forming, pour the alcohol into bottles.

Did you know? The strength of banana wine prepared according to this recipe ranges from 9 to 13 revolutions. The shelf life of the finished product reaches three years.

Subtleties of cooking

• Do not wash raisins under any circumstances, as there is “wild yeast” on their surface that will help activate the fermentation process. You just need to carefully sort it out, removing rotten or moldy berries, which can significantly spoil the taste of the alcohol, giving it too tart notes.
• Instead of raisins, you can use wine yeast or a starter made from any fresh berries, such as cherries, raspberries, red or black currants, and so on.
• During fermentation, a lot of foam will appear during the first 6-9 days, so I recommend filling the container halfway or less with wort.
• If the fermentation process does not stop after 50 days, it is necessary to drain the liquid from the formed sediment and set the wine to ferment again. Otherwise, the finished product may be too bitter.

Banana Wine Recipe with Orange and Lemon

List of required components

Step-by-step preparation

5. Squeeze the juice from one lemon and one orange into a separate bowl using a method convenient for you.
6. Add the resulting citrus juice to the banana mixture, and add granulated sugar.
7. Stir the liquid until the sugar grains are completely dissolved. Then we taste the prepared liquid and, if necessary, add sugar or citric acid if there is not enough sourness.
8. Add wine yeast there and stir everything thoroughly, then pour the prepared mixture into a fermentation container.
9. Cover the vessel with a lid and place it in a warm, dark place for about a week. During this time, stir the contents of the vessel daily.
10. We leave the wort to ferment for about 2 more months, without shaking the mass.
11. After the specified period, add unwashed raisins to the fermented liquid and allow the wine to infuse for another six months.
12. We filter the alcohol through multi-layer gauze and bottle it.
13. We place the bottles in the refrigerator or any other cool place for another six months.

The abundance of vitamins and microelements in its composition, mild taste and unforgettable aroma are just some of the advantages of banana wine. Ingredients for making wine The recipe for banana wine includes the following components: ripe fruit - 5 kg; sugar – 5 kg; black raisins – 750 g; water – 10 l; citric acid – 3 tsp; wine yeast - a teaspoon for every 5 liters of wine must; tannin - tsp. “no slide”; enzymes for fermentation of wine must (glucamyl - 15 ml, amyl - 8 ml). To make homemade wine from bananas, the fruit does not need to be peeled; it is used together with the peel. Before placing bananas in a cooking container, you just need to cut them into small pieces about 2 cm in size. Preparing wine components for fermentation The original recipe for wine from bananas, the technology for preparing this drink is somewhat different from the usual sequence of making grape or fruit wine. For wine mash, bananas pre-boiled with sugar are used. Stages of preparing the wort: 1. Mix the chopped fruits, the amount of sugar stated in the recipe, pour half the amount of water into it. 2. Place the container on low heat, the heat treatment time is 45 minutes from the moment of boiling. The mixture must be stirred constantly so that the banana puree does not burn. 3. Add citric acid, tannin and enzymes to the banana puree removed from the heat and cooled (glucamyl - 0.8 ml per 1 l; amyl - 0.5 ml per 1 l). While the wort is cooling, you need to prepare the raisins. Tip: keeping wine yeast on the surface of the berries, there is no need to wash the raisins, but they should be sorted thoroughly. Rotten and moldy berries will spoil banana wine, giving it an unpleasant aftertaste. Preparing banana wine The cooled wort with the ingredients added to it is mixed with raisins, and the rest of the water is added. The wort will have to spend a day under the water seal for the components to be completely mixed. Stages of wine preparation: The liquid from the wort is drained using a filter. The fruit pulp is squeezed out, and the resulting liquid is poured into the wort. Add yeast according to the recipe. Place a water seal on the container with the wort or put a medical glove with a finger pierced with a needle on the neck of the jar, place it for initial fermentation in a warm and dark room (t + 18 + 23⁰). A week later, the wine wort is drained from the sediment and returned to its original place, not forgetting to close it with a water seal. The final fermentation period is 1 month. After fermentation is complete, the procedure for removing the sediment is repeated and the banana wine is poured into dark glass bottles for aging and storage. The optimal holding temperature is +10+12⁰С. In the coolness of a cellar or cellar, the wine will last for a year and a half without losing its delicate aroma. A quick recipe for making bananas. An unusual dessert for a special occasion - bananas in wine. They are simmered in red grape wine with added sugar and cinnamon for 5 minutes.

In Thailand, bananas are very cheap, very tasty and are usually sold in huge bunches at once. We always have a lot of them. Often we simply don’t have time to eat so much, and bananas spoil quickly here. 2-3 days and they are rotten, another day or two and they need to be thrown away. They are not stuffed with chemicals here so that they can be stored in the refrigerator for weeks, so they must either be quickly eaten or something urgently done with them.

Overripe bananas are best used in baking, and we love baked goods. My husband and I drink tea with something tasty at least 2 times a day. Whenever possible, I try to cook delicious food myself, which is why we were looking for a house with an oven and kitchen appliances. Baking tins are a problem in Thailand and can sometimes be hard to find, but larger stores usually have them. You can also use saucepans without plastic handles or a rice cooker pan for these purposes.

So, what to cook? If you need something simpler, then I make different cupcakes. I choose recipes depending on what products are available and what I want to get. Here is one of the simple and favorite recipes:

4-5 overripe bananas,
2 eggs,
0.5 cup sugar (if bananas are not very sweet, then a little more)
100 g sl. oils,
10g baking powder (you can take 3-5g baking soda and quench it with lemon juice or vinegar)
1.5 cups flour

Grind bananas in a blender. Add sugar, eggs and melted butter, mix well, I do this directly in a blender. Then add flour and baking powder and mix. You can also add vanilla sugar, raisins, prunes, oatmeal and whatever you want. Place the dough in a greased mold (if the mold is silicone, there is no need to grease it). I used the inner bowl of a rice cooker since I didn't have a muffin tin. Place in the oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes (if making muffins, then 20-30 minutes) at 180 degrees. If you are expecting guests or just have time, you can sprinkle the finished cupcake with powdered sugar or chocolate glaze with nuts or come up with something else, but I didn’t do anything, it’s so good and quick to eat. The cake turns out very tender and tasty:

I also really liked the recipe for Brazilian banana pie. It is even tastier and more tender than the previous cupcake. Even my mother, who is on a diet, could not resist. We will need:

1.5 cups flour,
1.5 cups cornstarch,
1.5 cups sugar,
1 packet of vanilla sugar (optional without it),
1 tbsp. l. baking powder (I took 1/3 tbsp of baking soda, slaked with lemon juice, you can also use vinegar),
200 g butter,
3 eggs,
1 glass of milk,
6 bananas (I took both 4 and 8, depending on the situation)

Mix flour, starch, melted butter, sugar and slaked soda and get a dough in the form of bread crumbs. Grease the mold with oil (we have a large baking sheet, I used it instead of a mold, the cake turned out thinner than the original, but no less tasty). Pour in half the dough, distributing it evenly. Cut the bananas in half lengthwise or into 3 parts if there are not enough of them. Place it on the dough. Sprinkle the remaining dough evenly on top. Beat the whites and yolks separately. Pour the whipped yolks into the whites, mix gently while gradually pouring in the milk. Pour this mixture over the pie and bake at 180-200 degrees for about 30 minutes. Cool (although we rarely manage to wait until it cools) and cut into portions. Cold tastes better. This makes a pie like this:

Does this happen to you: you bought a bunch of beautiful bananas and, pleased with yourself and the fact that you started a healthy lifestyle, happily forgot about them? And then you find them, already brown, ugly, overripe, and your conscience begins to eat you... And not even eat, but eat... They say that bananas “live” from 2 to 7 days on the shelf, 2-9 days in the refrigerator and 2- 3 months in the freezer. Can you imagine how long it took you to forget about them?!

Instead of throwing them away or, worse, eating them at once, I offer several ideas that I found on the Internet - they relate specifically to brown overripe bananas.
Why did bananas suddenly appear on a blog about minimalism? I am for the economical and thrifty use of products. For their minimum in the refrigerator and maximum use. Therefore, read on...

1. Bake classic banana bread. Here, for example, is the simplest recipe:

Preparation:

Making “bread”: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease the baking dish. Mix together flour, baking soda and salt. Add butter, olive oil and sugar. Beat with a mixer. Beat the eggs and whites separately, then add vanilla. Mash the bananas in the milk. Combine all ingredients together. Place in the mold. Bake for about 40-45 minutes.

Before you start, you need to cut the banana into pieces and freeze (for about 2 hours). Beat the banana for a long time in a blender, then put the mass in a container and back into the freezer.

4. Use banana as a butter substitute. A glass of mashed banana contains only 200 calories.

To ensure that you always remain healthy and happy, adopt the simplest recipes for delicious banana desserts.

The first bananas are mentioned in written sources dating back to the 5th century BC! And even then, from the islands of the Malay Archipelago - the birthplace of bananas, they spread to India thanks to travelers. And bananas came to Europe in 327 BC, when Alexander the Great brought them with him from his campaign in India.

Some historians believe that the “fruit of paradise” that tempted Eve and Adam in the Old Testament is the banana.

Today, banana ranks 7th among all crops grown in the world, and there are about 300 varieties of this wonderful fruit. Bananas are eaten in all corners of the world, and they are consumed differently everywhere. The tradition of eating fruits without heat treatment, only after peeling them, is typical for countries with a temperate climate, and in the tropics they are most often boiled, fried and prepared from bananas not only for dessert, but also for main courses, side dishes, appetizers and much more.

During World War II, the Philippines even invented banana ketchup, since regular ketchup had become scarce; to make it, banana puree was mixed with vinegar, sugar, spices and red coloring.

In addition to their wonderful taste, bananas have become famous for their beneficial properties and nutritional value. Banana fruits are recommended to be eaten in case of anemia, because... They contain iron, and thanks to potassium, bananas lower blood pressure and help eliminate irritability that occurs with its deficiency. The substance tryptophan helps with heartburn and improves digestion in general. It is believed that banana is one of the best helpers in eliminating depression, and it also improves the condition of premenstrual syndrome. The vitamins contained in bananas are C, P and group B, and the calorie content of the fruit is about 100 kcal per 100g.

The best way to pleasantly surprise your family and friends is to invite them to try banana wine. Amazing banana wine has a soft taste and light fruity aroma. The original recipe for making a light alcoholic drink from bananas came to us from Latin America, where abundant harvests of tropical fruits encouraged people to make full use of them.

Due to the high percentage of fiber content, wine can be safely consumed even by people with digestive problems. B vitamins, vitamin A, ascorbic acid, manganese, potassium, magnesium - this is an incomplete list of what banana wine can boast of. In addition, it is useful for hypertensive patients due to its mild effect on lowering blood pressure. In short, a drink with such healing properties should definitely be kept in stock in case of guests who have some health problems. So, let's begin!

How to make healthy banana wine?

First you should prepare everything you need. We will need:

Bananas of sufficient ripeness - 10 kilograms;
Granulated sugar - 10 kilograms;
Black raisins – 1.5 kilograms;
Water - 20 liters;
Citric acid - 6 teaspoons;
We take yeast based on the calculation: 1 gram of yeast per liter of wine material;
Tannin - 1.5 teaspoons;
Fermentation enzymes - 25 ml glucamyl + 15 ml amyl.

Cooking sequence

— there is no need to peel the bananas; cut them into pieces no more than 2 centimeters thick;
— place chopped bananas in any heat-resistant container with a volume of at least 40 liters;
- add granulated sugar there;
- add 10 liters of water;
— place the container with the preparation on low heat for 45 minutes;
— we monitor the process, stir frequently and do our best to help transform the fruit mass into a homogeneous puree;
- remove the wort from the heat;
- add citric acid to the mass;
- add tannins;
— add amyl enzyme at the rate of: 0.5 ml of amyl per 1 liter of wort;
— enrich the wort with glucamil at the rate of: 0.8 ml per 1 liter of wort;
- mix thoroughly and set aside for a while;
- take another clean and dry prepared container;
- add unwashed but sorted raisins, previously separated from rotten and damaged berries;
- pour the prepared cooled wort onto the raisins;
— add the remaining 10 liters of water;
- seal with a water seal;
— our wine material costs one night.

The next day you need to remove the fruit mass from the liquid. For this:
- drain the liquid from the container;
- squeeze out the remaining sediment at the bottom;
— add the spin result to the liquid;
- remove fruit residue;
— introduce yeast into the wine preparation;
- close with a water seal;
- place in a dark place at room temperature for one week for fermentation;
- don’t forget to stir the drink;

- close the water seal tightly;
— place the vessel with the future wine in a cool place for a period of 1 month for thorough fermentation;
— repeat the procedure for removing wine from the sediment;
- bottle the purified banana wine for long-term storage.

The drink gains its best taste and aroma a year and a half after its production. But, as practice shows, it is quite difficult to maintain this period - banana wine is too delicious!
