11/22/2019 1:27 AM over 4 years ago	+1	Brew Day Complete	1.092	0.8 Gallons	12/5/2019 4:42 PM over 4 years ago	Pitched 2.5 grams of EC-118 yeast Rehydrated. Plan to do a Fermaid-K/DAP nutrient schedule. total of 1.5g and 2.9g of each respectivley. spread out over 24, 48, 72 and 7 days after initial yeast pitch https://www.meadmakr.com/batch-buildr/?fbclid=IwAR1y0MaYPkhzm2Cfhy5jSN8-4Fs2wlQ0ceDzG24jlys1xnOh3yWQEJg3qaU OG in brix is 22
11/23/2019 11:48 PM over 4 years ago	+2	Sample	1.068		11/25/2019 3:27 PM over 4 years ago	Added second nutrient addition (first one was done 24 hours after pitch but no sample was taken). Tasted very sweet. Refractormeter read 19 Brix, which converts to 1.068 with alcohol adjustment.
11/25/2019 4:02 AM over 4 years ago	+4	Sample	1.049		11/25/2019 3:23 PM over 4 years ago	Added nutrients. tasted slightly less sweet than last sample. Refractrometer reading was 16 brix which coverts to 1.049.
12/5/2019 4:40 PM over 4 years ago	+14	Sample	1.000		12/5/2019 4:42 PM over 4 years ago	Brix read 8.2 or so. Which translates to 1.000 sugar left. plan is to rack ASAP. not much flavor here so maybe makes sense to add some fruit to this one.
