3/12/2023 11:53 AM about 1 year ago	+57	Fermentation Complete	1.001		3.6	3/12/2023 11:53 AM about 1 year ago	Bottled one demijohn. Still a little sweet but not much, quite sharp spice bite from clove but not a load of the warming flavour. Didn't manage to take a reading before having to leave but tasted pretty still, not many lees in the bottle so must have stopped well in primary.

Notes

.28 plain sugar added to boil.

5 mandarin oranges, zested and squeezed into boil.

3 Sainsburys mulled wine space bags added to the boil.

2 black teabags (Thompson's), 2 green tea with lemon.

3 tsp Mixed acid.
