Notes

Slice up strawberries and basil leaves and stored in a quart jar with the vodka while the beer is in the primary fermenter. Use a big mouth bubbler secondary fermenter with a depth charge hop basket and dump the strawberry/basil/vodka mixture into the depth charge hop basket. Leave in the secondary for 14 days.
