Today they are fermenting really strong. I've got them in a fine mesh paint bag and the gas tends to make it float easily.
They do smell different from what they first started off like. Not really nice, but then not terribly nasty either.
What did you get for a starting SG?
I took mine and after sitting 24 hours, mashed the bag as good as possible to get the juice out of the fruit and check the SG. It was 1.02, I figure they had a pretty good amount of sugar on their own.

Yes but, how much sugar did you add to bring the starting gravity to what?
Not what it was after sitting 24 hrs before adding yeast.

the recipe call for 10#, but it only took 7+ to get a 1.080.
glad you're are not overwhelming smell. the smell of ours about put this hobby on the shelf from hubby's perspective.
my secondary airlock has slowed some and i think there is slight clearing today, but it may be wishful thinking, lol
i put my peaches for my flavor pac in the freezer last night :db
