When	Who	QTY	Notes
2019-02-19	Joe Mertz	2 Liters	All consumed during member meeting. Proof of concept. Concentrate Mixed w/ Soda Water.
2019-03-01	Joe Mertz	5 Gallons - Corny Keg	First attempt at kegging and force carbonating. Overcarbonated to 80 PSI. Good, but too sweet and too fizzy. ~3.5 cups sugar.
2019-03-07	Joe Mertz	5 Gallons - Corny Keg	Second Keg Attempt. Carbonated appropriately at 40-50 PSI and shook. Less sweet, good but probably not sweet enough. ~2 cups sugar
