haven't done it yet. Amylase? Cook it first? Have been loving my banana rum so far!

Amy lase? Sort of.. I used digestive enzymes (That contain the amylase) as I didn't have any on hand. I am rather pleased with how it turned out.

Nice, next step distillate it with alcohol, gives you a beautiful crystal clear 45%Vol. Banana Schnapps. Or without….a clear concentrated banana essence.

that sounds rather tempting. More stuff to learn. :-)

If I'm reading the markings on your beaker correctly, it looks like you have about 50 ml of liquid there. Is that the yield from a single banana?
tshewman
It's ~300mL from about 5 large bananas

Not so difficult to do. If you don’t have a distill already, mine is just a simple setup with a 2-liter bowl you find in any School chemistry room. Burner, Liebig water cooler, aquarium water pump and a thermometer for about a $ 120.- altogether. The only extra tool really to get is the alcohol thermometer to measure the % Vol. of your distillate so you can adjust it to your needs. on most occasions the product comes out over 50%Vol, so adjusting with destilled water is a comon precedure, All comerical stills working along this procedure.
