BANANA BEER PREPARATION ( KWENGA URWAGWA).
This is a picture which I have taken in museum of Rwanda located at Butare, showing the materials used to prepare and making Rwanda’s banana beer, and calabash served to drink. Banana beer is made from
fermentation of mashed bananas and fermented to alcoholic beverage. In the last
years no man could gathered the men without a drink like banana beer, in Rwanda
all conversations of men accompanied by banana beer, and it is consumed during
rituals and ceremonies. For this moment, banana beer is replaced by industries
beer made from brewery. In these days, banana beer is not still consumed by
many people and is in the way of disappearance completely.
BANANA BEER PREPARATION (KWENGA URWAGWA)
1) 1 1) A ripe stalk of banana is cut.
2) 2 2) The stalk is covered in banana leaves and left to ripen for two or three days in the enclosure near the home.
3) 3 3) The pit that will be used for fermenting is cleaned.
4) 4 4) Covered with trunks of banana trees
5) 5 5) On which the bananas are laid.
6) 7 6) These are wrapped in fresh banana leaves before covering with a layer of dirt.
7) 8 7) A fire is lit under them and left for three days.
8) 9 8) The fruit is peeled and crushed, and the juice is diluted with a little water.
9) 1 9) The pulp is pressed, and the juice is filtered.
10) 10) A little sorghum is ground.
12) 11)The sorghum flour is added to the juice which is poured into a large vat over the hearth. It’s left to ferment for three days.
12) 12) The drink is ready.
This kind of Rwanda culture’s drink has not fixed alcoholic percentage. It could be up or less depending on the quality and quantity of the bananas. But comparing with other sorts of drinks we
have in Rwanda, banana beer is always the best even if it is not allowed to
prepare it. It begins to be historic to the new generation and no hope again to
allow every inhabitant to prepare it as in the last years, so it will remain
history to the next generation of Rwanda.

Why not prepare it commercially? Sounds like there would be a market. +1 LS

Do you think you will make an object that includes these directions so that you can pass it on to those in the future, to preserve the knowledge for this mission?
