+Original Specific Gravity:  1.046.\\
+First reading:  1.009.  That being a really solid number, I sanitized the bottles.\\
+Second reading:  1.007.  Still dropping, so I primed the bottles and sealed them against bottling day.  Priming was 80g of sucrose (table sugar) dissolved in 150ml of boiling water;  final volume after cooling was 190ml.\\
+Third reading:  1.007.  Looks like it's ready to bottle.
+Extracted 16 litres, plus most of a 17th that will be used for sampling.
