1. Bruise all the bananas and allow them to sit for 1-2 hours to allow amylase enzymes in skins to convert starches into sugars.
2. While the bananas are resting, boil 2 gallons (8L) of water with your sugar and lemon juice for 20 minutes to invert the sugar. Let the invert sugar cool to room temp.
3. Mash bananas and combine with cooled inverted sugar syrup. Then chop up the banana peels and add them to the mash.
4. Top up the mixture with water until you have 5 total gallons, then oxygenate the mash and take a hydrometer reading.
5. Add yeast nutrient and yeast, then stir it well.
6. WARNING: The mash will foam up a lot, so split it into 2 fermenters to allow adequate head space.
7. Close up the fermenters and allow it to ferment down to dryness, hydrometer reading of 1.000 or lower.
8. Hypothetically, you can distill the mash in a single slow pot still run. If you have a thumper, you can add some of the wash to increase the flavor.

Bearded’s Chocolate Banana Liqueur
3-5 Banana Peels chopped
At least ½ cup sugar
400ml Banana Brandy
3 Tbsp Olive Nation Cacao Nibs
Water
