Day 16
Monday, July 21st

Took out a sample, yeasty, sweet and a bit dry, can taste alcohol, no idea what percent it is though :D ... a couple more days perhaps?
Fermentation stopped, siphoned, and bottled.  Chillin in the cooler now.

Day 3
July 7th
Scum is settling, ballon still inflated, can hear hissing and see bubbles.

Day 4
July 8th
Scum is almost gone, ballon still looks like a clown nose, there's still a few bubbles rising. Fermentation appears to still be going, this is good.

Day 1
July 5th - ~2200
JJ Brand Hootch (work on a new name?)
First yeast batch failed to hydrate, bummer, but that's why we have 20 packs. 18Litre bottle instead of 4L bottle (5 gallons vs. 1). Using 1 gallon mixture for this batch, should equal 2L at the end of the process.

Day 2
July 6th - ~1000
BUBBLES and scum! yay, primary fermentation has started, ballon is swelling
July 6th - ~1400
Ballon "popped from inside the bottle to the outside. Pressure is building, visable bubbles on close inspection.

Possible names: JJ Brand Hootch, Derjur suggests 'jimmiejizz', Tom suggests, 'jamesonbrau' or...
Tom: or as the coroner will refer to it "Exhibit 23"
