I have a batch started right now also, I used 3lbs/gallon (6 gallons), got fresh strawberries for $2/lb at the one market by my house (grown in mexico, works for me) My initial was 1.083 when I added the yeast (24 hours after everything else), that was 1/23. 1/31 I was down to 1.003 already and swapped to a carboy off the fruit. My berries were bleached out and pretty well "dead". I used a potato masher to press them.
I am 4 weeks in as of yesterday and my airlock bubbling has slowed to the point I can't see anything. I am sure if I stared long enough I would .
Just trying to share hopefully help you out, I've definitely asked a ton of questions lately.
