A Peek at Life as a Natic

Last Friday evening Ifinally sent my banana beer to a carboy.  A carboy is a glass fermenter / holding container which is air proof.  It was quite interesting to see the inside of the fermenter with all of the bananas in there LOL.

Racking the Banana cream ale

After transferring the beer to the carboy it was placed in my kegerator (which has no beers on tap ) to crash cool.  During this time any additional yeast and other sediment from the bananas of brewing process falls to the bottom of the carboy.  After two days of being in the kegerator I pulled it out, sanitized a keg, racked it to the keg, and began carbonating it with co2. 

Fermented Bananas

It will take about two weeks to be fully carbed and actually may need a few more weeks of aging to ensure that there are no off tastes from the recently fermented bananas.  Hopefully within a few weeks this thing will be ready and tasting great!
