1/31/22 - Brew Day - Added 2 gallons of hot tap water to a sanitized fermenter along with 36oz of Lemon Juice. Added 6 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. Blitzed the mostly thawed fruit in batches along with some hot water in the blender and added to the fermenter. Added 2 packs yeast and mixed with Mix-n-stir to aerate and mix. 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 for the first week before transferring to a new bucket with a bag so I can strain out the fruit. SG=1.060
NOTE: The CY17 yeast had a best by date of 2/2020, but I used two packets and will monitor progress. If things are slow to start, I'll thrown in another couple packs since I bought a bunch knowing they were expired.
2/10/2021 - Strained out fruit and transferred to a better bottle for some conditioning.
6/3/2022 - Transferred to another carboy & added .25 tsp k-meta.
6/22/2022 - Kegged - Added .25 tsp potassium metabisulfate and 3 tsp potassium sorbate & back-sweetened with a simple syrup made with honey to mimic a mead. Didn't take measurements or amounts on the simple syrup on this, as I had it in the fridge already. I may end up bottling a few batches of this as well to save, so I can always adjust a little later if needed.
