Notes
===================================
4/24/2022
I kegged this Tuesday 419 from hot with no gelatin. Next day it was pouring with floaters so Wednesday 420 i transferred out of keg and made a make shift filter although not much seemed to get caught I wonder if the floaters were just a few in the first pour. Anyway rekegged it it was 1005 and shook the keg to carb and went on to can. Not sure the carb level but it was on the light side. Also added the rose water extract but have no good idea how much. I did one drop per 16 oz sample so in the end I added 35 drops to a measuring cup but it was immeasurable in the cup and the scale said 0g. So need to figure that out. The cans came out nice tho the rose water could be turned up slightly for experimentation purpose and carb level as well.

brew day was a little strange as i brewed this straight up without the fruit then brewed another batch several days later, combining the two then separating them again into separate fermenters, one for plain and the other one for this version with the fruit which i added 7 days ago.
pretty slow fermentation on this and the other one, as of today this is at 1.012 (the other one is higher, about 1.020). i will say it i believe i measured it at 1.015 yesterday so maybe improving
tonight i opened up the fermenter and it does appear to have some active fermentation still going, not sure why this lutra is so slow....obviously it could be because of the fruit but the other fermenter without the fruit is also slow and even slower without the fruit so idk.
anyway i was getting worried about that fruit being at 80 degrees in there so i transferred and filtered the seltzer into a clean fermenter, left a lot of the trub and fruit remains behind, added a couple more spoonfuls of lutra yeast, and two tsp of yeast nutrient which i believe is DAP. oxygenated by pouring back and forth and stirring. ive read seltzer is less susceptible to damage due to oxidation.
on another note it tastes really good. you can tell there is residual sweetness there and its not complex at all, its straight up sugar sweetness. but light and mixed with the fruit flavor its nice. id almost like to stop it like this and package. but in the interest of understanding seltzer i want to try to give it the best chance to ferment all the way out properly then see how that tastes.
i also added a couple drops of rose water extract to 4oz sampler and it tasted really good, a little strong on the nose. im thinking we probably want to start with 1 drop per 16oz can and go from there. not sure how to measure that over the course of the entire batch/keg....
...that would be approx 35-40 drops into the keg not sure if i want to measure it that way or figure something else out. maybe measure 35-40 drops into a measuring cup and see how much that is so next time you can just go from that. andor should measure the 35-40 drops and weight that junk too so next time you can go by weight.

initial recipe creation. sounds pretty straightforward, need to figure out how much rose water and extract to add. may want to add rose water at packaging time then do the flavorings at pour time for experimental purposes.
