Bananas were frozen before beeing pureed with banana rhum. The puree was brought to room temperature, sprayed with StarSan and added directly in the fermentor.

Measured original gravity : 1.068
Measured gravity after 14 days : 1.023
Measured gravity after 21 days : 1.019
Measured gravity after 42 days : 1.018

9 liters were bottled
Very weak banana taste before bottling

floating banana puree looks pretty gross XD
