Greg,
I've found each fruit/vegea/flower/herb wine is unique to itself. Some will
just ferment a lot faster or slower than others. Other's take time to clear
and others look clear at a very young age. I have a zucchini wine and an
oregano wine which have astonished me by how clear they are at 1month/2
month, while none of my fruit wines are that crystal clear that young. I
think that is what makes this hobby so interesting. Maybe someone else will
have an insight on the Banana wine - I have not tried that, but would be
interested in hearing how yours turns out.
