6/3/2022 3:30 PM over 2 years ago	+0	Brew Day Complete	1.136	4 Quarts	68 °F	6/5/2022 10:46 PM over 2 years ago	So the mulberry juice had a SG of 1.034. and the mixed blackberry/mulberry juice combined was the same. I added the tea and all of the solids to the 1G fermenter, along with the solids (leaves & berries) and 1 crushed campden tablet. I will edit this with the +honey OG when I pitch tomorrow. Update: Did open fermentation in a 1 gallon fermentor. The must overflowed a bit.
6/7/2022 1:20 AM over 2 years ago	+4	Other	1.100			6/10/2022 1:32 AM over 2 years ago	Cleaned up the overflow, took out (some of) the fruit and (all of) the mulberry leaves, and put on an airlock. We're down to abt 3.5 quarts now. Hall's equation puts this at just under 6% abv. Tastes a lot like Manischewitz rn.
6/11/2022 8:33 PM over 2 years ago	+8	Fermentation Complete	1.004	3 Quarts	70 °F	6/11/2022 8:33 PM over 2 years ago	Tastes like a very good liqueur. Lot's of fruit flavor. Great mouthfeel. Hall's Equation puts us at 19.9% ABV.

Notes

Actual OG: 1.136

Racking to secondary, current gravity 1.004.

Tastes amazing at this point—like a good berry liqueur. I will probably bottle it in two weeks.
