Update, Aug 5, 2021: I added the guava on July 25, I just chopped it into cubes, put it in the blender with a little water, and blended until smooth, then dumped it into the fermenter. We headed out of town on July 27 for a week vacation, but on the 31st, I was able to use the handy remote control app on my phone to turn the Inkbird down to 33F to cold crash, so it would be ready to keg when I got back on the 2nd. Nice! Kegged on Aug 3, added gelatin to the keg.
