If you decide to make this and end up with as high a gravity as I did, PLEASE AGE IT FOR A MONTH! The review will come out sooner than later but we seriously had to wait a month to get the banana phenols in line. It turned out great in the end but needs some time to age with that much alcohol.
If you noticed that we mentioned that it was May in the beginning in of the video, we waited this long to make sure it tasted OK before subjecting any of you fine people to the recipe. I would never intentionally steer you in the wrong beer-rection 😉
