Notes

01/04/2026 OG 1.060 City tap water from fridge filtered through charcoal filter medium

01/18/2026 Transfer to secondary fermenter gravity is at 1.020. Added 32oz of all natural, organic Pomegranate juice. I’m not sure if that is too much or too little to affect the overall flavor profile. Time will tell. At this point, I’m going to seal it back up and let it sit for at least two weeks.
