Hey everyone!
I hope the title itself represents the challenge.
I have a client who is interested in manufacturing banana beer like Well's or Mongozo (Africa) since he has acres of plantation and wishes to use overripe and ripe bananas.
Now after all the research I have done I figured it isn't easy to process banana like other fruits certainly.
It can be pureed but juicing requires enzymes and heat before it can be filtered into a clear aseptic juice.
For a more economical approach, I was thinking if the banana puree can be step mashed(50% barley malt and 50% banana puree).?
This will help convert all the starch if present and then extracted using a MASH FILTER?
Question is will this mash get pumped into the mash filter and would the extraction of wort go smoothly?
Ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
Amit
