Notes

Pre-boil brix = 16.4

Post-boil brix = 19 (SG = 1.079)

OG = 1.075 (TILT)

4/1/23: SG = 1.031, 66 F (TILT); ABV = 5.8%; fermentation still going; was going crazy for days 3-4

4/5/23: SG = 1.028, 66 F (TILT); ABV = 6.2%; fermentation slow but still going

4/14/23: SG = 1.020 (hydrometer; TILT out of calibration); ABV = 7.74%; let go another week and then rack into carboy with oak spirals

4/22/23: SG = 1.018 (hydrometer); ABV = 8.01%; tastes good; racked to carboy; added scotch soaked oak spirals (soaked for 3 days in 12 year old Glenlivet) on 4/25/23 and will age for ~4 months or more
