7/12/2018 3:31 PM over 6 years ago	+1	Other			2/20/2021 3:43 AM over 3 years ago	With estimated ice, the water bath hit a minimum of 61.8116 degrees at around midnight and then slowly rose in temperature to 65.1866 by 8:30 this morning.
7/27/2018 3:56 AM over 6 years ago	+16	Fermentation Complete	1.011		2/20/2021 3:43 AM over 3 years ago
8/10/2018 2:25 AM over 6 years ago	+30	Packaged		5 Gallons	2/20/2021 3:43 AM over 3 years ago	Took a couple days to get the keg cleaned and rebuilt. Got a Cornelius keg wrench for the purpose at city people. Yay! Also, took a while to get the force carbonation decent. Had to replace the CO2 canister.
8/10/2018 2:34 AM over 6 years ago	+30	Tasting Note			2/20/2021 3:43 AM over 3 years ago	I call it "spicy water." It is pretty weak in alcohol. It's got decent yeast flavors. Banana mostly, with a touch of clove spice. Reading up on things, I've theorized that in order to get more clove flavor, I've got to pitch more yeast. This batch was pitch with a low amount.
