Somewhere on my bookshelves I've got a 1970s recipe book titled "Be Bold With Bananas". Whenever it's rediscovered the photos cause lots of hilarity.

Banana wine
I am using 8 kg of ripe bananas skin on, for each brew. The bananas are soaking in, 10 liters of boiled water & 1 crushed campden tab.
1 tea bag brewed in a cup of boiling water.
1tsp grape tannin.
4 tsp pectolase powder. .
juice of 3 small lemons
Left over night to soak.
Today I put the juice and pulp into jelly bags and hung them up to drip. At the same time I started to feed turbo yeast, in six cups of boiled water and sugar. The juice was a lot darker this time, for this reason I mixed all the juice together, adding 6 kg of white sugar dissolved in 6 liters of boiled water. I divided the juice evenly between three brewing vessels.

elliehen... good for you, to find something about a banana, to cause such hilarity. .

o gosh, I am watching my wine come up the side . mmm just about to the top. I will have to take off the balloons and give it a big stir up. bother it. I will add another 2 liters of boiled water to each jar, it could be the juice is a bit thick.
