Addition, not subtraction

Batch #2 has had its sugars enhanced by almost 3 points. I made an error and only used 1.4kg of inverted sugars this time, but thats alright.. I'l add the rest in the final addition. The monks will be glad for the feast. I also added the yeast nutrient portion.

It was at 1.010 and was enhanced to 1.032, this adding about 3% potential alcohol, bringing it to about 9.5 - 10% potential, from the start.

It is recovering from the addition now, but is showing signs of health. I am optimistic! After all, I did teach these monks their letters.

Both batches are holding steady at 25C. I won't have to call the roofing men to insulate their cells after all!

Pax Vobiscum
