Bundaberg distillery in Queensland Australia makes Chocolate Rum. It is so yummy.

Awesome videos. I do the brewing bit and my husband does the distilling. So you have two new fans.

I love science in brewing! This recipe is very right. Thank you very much! Subscribed!👍🥂

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.

Very nice!would try it

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

If it wasn't for Beaver DIY, I would have never known you can make a Banana Rum!!😱

@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.

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?

Freedom units.... eff yeah!!!

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?

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.

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.

I am doing a stripping run on this as I write this note, all went well with my wash only taking 3 days ferment to dry (I live in warm climate), but then came the nightmare of trying to rack this brew, how do you go about separating the banana offal from the wash for the still? all strainers block up instantly the taps block and the siphon hoses blocked. I managed to get 17L in the end but what a lot of mess and straining, it really did put a dampener on the whole experience. I could smell the alcohol in the bananas going down the drain oh the humanity. I suspect maybe the bananas may not have been over ripe enough? I would be most grateful for any tips to make this part easier. Otherwise I am running this stuff and it smells amazing cant wait for the spirit run, can you suggest what wood to age this on, otherwise I'll use rum barrel chips...seems logical. Also I did your spiced rum and wow I am a fan. As a rum drinker this came out as one of the finest rums I've even drunk better loan made myself. Keep the great recipes coming Beaver love your work.

Hi Ken, Thank you for the comment, yes this was a nightmare to clear, lucky had some experience with Cake recently 😀, what I did was placed it in a filter bag, and let it drain overnight, you will be left with a really compacted offal, you can squeeze it to get the last bit of juice out but was minimal. It took about 10hours to filter. What I will do in future is to take my BIB bag and filter it that way.

Many years ago my wife worked for a grocery store and brought home a case of over ripe bananas for me to experiment with ferment into wine or brandy. First lesson learned was the foaming. Second was the fining. Repeated cold shocking got a lot of the fines to settle out. I then used a fineing solution and let it sit for a week. It was too cloudy to bottle as a wine so just ran it. Made a mess of the pot.
