10/12/2020 6:20 PM over 4 years ago	+2	Other			70 °F	10/23/2020 6:22 PM over 4 years ago	Fermentation activity started with what looked like a pellicle forming on top of the cider. A little bit of Co2 activity but not much.
10/14/2020 6:22 PM over 4 years ago	+4	Other			70 °F	10/23/2020 6:22 PM over 4 years ago	Minor pellicle like krausen disappeared and cider dropped clear.
10/16/2020 6:22 PM over 4 years ago	+6	Other			70 °F	10/23/2020 6:23 PM over 4 years ago	Looks like normal fermentation took off and a nice creamy krausen was formed on top with ample co2 airlock activity.
10/21/2020 6:23 PM over 4 years ago	+11	Other			70 °F	10/23/2020 6:24 PM over 4 years ago	Fermentation seems to have slowed, krausen has dropped and airlock activity has stopped. Going to give it a week or so and see if it starts to drop clear.
10/30/2020 1:27 AM over 4 years ago	+20	Fermentation Complete	1.001	5 Gallons	70 °F	11/5/2020 8:46 PM over 4 years ago	Fermentation complete. Placing cider in beer fridge to cold crash a bit.

Notes

Letting freshly pressed apple juice ferment with whatever wild yeasts are in the juice. Adding some Cinnamon sticks and coarsely ground clove to the juice.
