Gravity higher than expected. Same thing happened with the last batch so I'm not surprised. |

Steady Fermentation through Day 1 and Day 2. Bubbling in the airlock every half second or so.
Still fermenting in the SS BrewTech Brewbucket and need to drill a hole in the lid for the thermometer. Fermenting in the basement that is usually about 66 degrees. |

Aggressive active fermentation through first 72 hours. Adding the air pump into my brew day has significantly improved the viability of my yeast.
Gravity reading shows 8 Brix WRI putting it in the 8% range. Should be done with active fermentation in the next day. The smell is outstanding. A spicy boi. |

Still incredibly boozy. I'm going to transfer into a secondary and probably add some sort of fruit flavoring to take the edge off. It almost tastes like vodka. I think my yeast were too active and created a lot of fusel alcohols. Live and learn. |

Kegged and put on gas. Once it was chilled to about 35 F it was much less boozy. Still pretty harsh. Probably going to add some fruit extract or whole fruit to the keg to finish it off. |

Added 2oz of strawberry extract to maybe level this out. Still very boozy. |
