3/10/2021 - Brew Day - Added 2 gallons of hot tap water to a sanitized fermenter along with the 48oz bottle of Lemon Juice. Added 8 lbs of sugar and used mix-n-stir to get that mixed in. Added enough cold tap water to get me to just under 4 gallons before adding one of the packs of yeast and mixing in. Put the sanitized mesh bag into the fermenter and blitzed the mostly thawed fruit in batches along with some cold water in the blender and added to the fermenter. Stirred in the fruit and added the additional pack of yeast. Put the lid on top with an airlock in place but didn't seal. I plan to punch down the fruit each day and degas as much as I can with the bag. I found that I can't use the mix-n-stir because it gets stuck in the bag I found. The final volume was probably around 5.75-6 gallons.
3/15/2020 - SG = 1.025 - Decided to remove the fruit and squeeze out all the juice. I have been tamping it down every day once or twice since brew day. After removing the fruit, I used the mix-n-stir to degas the wine and put the lid on tight with an airlock to let the batch finish fermenting before transferring to a secondary fermenter.
