│  Started another cider today, mixed with blueberry juice (2:1 ratio).
│  With added sugar, should ferment to 8% 
│  
│  Also mixed some banana-flavored syrup with water until it should
│  reach about 6.5% fermented. It smells terrific -- exactly like those
│  marshmallow peanuts -- but I'm worried the yeast will struggle due to
│  lack of nutrients. I added some blueberry juice with the thought it
│  could provide some nutrition.
│  
│  This week I've distilled ~36L of 12% hooch to ~8L of 40% hooch --
│  the bran stuff. Sampled a bit of the bran liquor low wines. Very strong
│  smell but subtle flavor. I'll do a spirit run tonight with the still
│  filled up with 30% ABV low wines; I intend to make some gin. 
│  
│  I feel a bit bittersweet about this week's distills. Probably by next
│  week, my new, much more efficient still will be complete. I learned a
│  lot from this little guy. Now he will sit in a box somewhere
│  collecting dust because there is no market for tools like this.
