Day twentyseven.

It will not get readier than this. Too bad it is Monday!

Day twentythree.

The mixture has not changed much in the past few days. The smell has not changed either.

Day eighteen.

There was no crust today. We are ready for destilation.

Day seventeen.

After stirring most of the crust sank down. Almost there.

Day sixteen.

Still some bubling on top of the crust. The crust looks darker and darker everyday.

Day fifteen.

The plums in the crust are all squashed but fermentation is still going on.

Day fourteen.
