│  Tonight's ferment of 20L:
│  
│  * 4kg sugar
│  * 700g "honey stars" breakfast cereal, crushed up
│  * 30g baker's yeast
│  * pinch DAP, epsom salts
│  
│  Breakfast cereals have tons of yeast nutrients and this one tastes like
│  whole grain and honey. So this is more whisky-esque than the Trix cereal
│  experiment -- I've tried it before and it turns out well

    6 days later and the SG is at 1.010. So maybe it's at 12% but can reach
    the full 13% with a bit more time. A pretty fast ferment.
    
    Smells corny and sour, cloudy yellow color. The cereal on top still
    looks and smells pretty good. This was a fun brew and I'm looking
    forward to see how it distills -- I'll give it a bit more time to
    finish fermenting and clear up.
