Quickie

Temp - 28C+

SG - 1.042 = 7.5% alcohol, so added a baggie of holy water disgused in solid form as ice

pH - 3.46. I am certainly gratified I added that bicarbonate of soda back when this all started! Though, it is said you should use calcium carbonate (aka, limestone) instead. I'll try that sometime, in a future invocation.

Lets hope we get over the 10% hump.

If I add no sugar, this should go to about 16%. I may add some once it is at 14% or so just to see if it keeps it going to the tolerance level of 18%.

And, it smells like beer. Not a good beer.. but beer, nonetheless.

It appears The Great Work continues.
