These are all of Ricky’s actual notes on our meadery operation and the mead we make. There might be profanity, usually of the late 19th Century variety. The only redactions are to remove the names of people and businesses when deemed appropriate. Footnotes provided by Jess and Kelly.

7/18
Bragi is done… again. Letting it relax overnight.
New sensors arrived, but I’m trying to decide whether I want to wait for Jake to get back since he knows a lot more about the wiring than I do.

7/19
Exploring CO2 recapture tech again!

Bottling Bragi went super smoothly.

7/20
Still waiting on labels, so I’m gonna let Jake take care of it next week unless someone tells me otherwise. I used sparkolloid for the first time in ages! I wonder how it’ll turn out.

Nora has decided that - given the shortage of brewers this week - she will step into the breach. 

Nora's Boots fit Perfectly!

7/21
Reorganized the packing room a little. Kelly wants me to shift things back… That’s what teamwork is, I suppose!

7/22
Awesome opportunity to help another business go 100% solar (or get them darn close). Looking back over this week, there hasn’t been a lot of brewing.
