Banana Skins

I remember an old friend telling me to put a banana skin in the fermenting bucket with wine before you rack it into the demijohn and I can't for the life of me remember why. :oops: Anyone else heard of this?

A reliable source of a-amylase enzymes is ginger and I believe the inside white part of a banana skin.

Banana skins are good for shining black patent leather shoes.

And a good way to shine up your rubber plant leaves apparently instead of leafshine.

What's this obsession with monkeys RR, we ought to be told.

By the way, I feel terrible hijacking yet another thread with hilarious banter.

Sorry.

Just thought I'd see how long it took someone to ask

Is it the monkey glands that make you the man you are?

:shock:
