Notes

kettle sour 2 days in, moderately sour/pleasant according to my taste, though Kristi described it as tasting like soap. 9.7 brix @ ~3.8 gallons

still pleasantly sour, souring 4 days in, definitely broken ph meter reports 2.85, preboil brix looks like 9.3 brix @ 3.8 gallons. starting boil @ 4 days.

5 days of fermentation: before adding cherry puree, ~6 brix ~= 1.010 SG. Again pleasantly sour, no longer sweet, though kind of one dimensional.

measured FG after fermentation of puree, hydro read 1.012, refractometer read 6.7.
