Chris racked the base wheat beer that was brewed October 14th onto 5 pounds of raspberries tonight. It was rather labor- and time-intensive to squeeze the fruit through the neck of the carboy basically one spoonful at a time. 5 pounds....1 spoonful at a time. Just 2 hours in the carboy and already a pretty pinkish hue is beginning to take effect:
After that per the photo on the left, just not as thrilling nor labor-intensive, the Chocolate-Vanilla Imperial Stout was bottled. Smelled TERRIFIC. A net of 51 twelve-ounce bottles. Nice.Raspberry racking and chocolate stout bottling all completed after work and before first pitch of the World Series tonight? Life is good.

You are so lucky to have a wife who will let you do that in the kitchen! Ken asked for a corner of the garage and that was too close for me!- Tashina
Transferring and bottling doesn't bother her....it's the brewing that she abhors. To save the house from that delicious aroma, I brew on propane in the driveway.
Kimberly is a sport however with allowing my fermentations to occur in the half-bath downstairs.
Speaking of the 1/2 bath down stairs, has the ceiling been REPAINTED?????
When do you find the time to push drugs? It would appear that your time is spent with brew mastering???????
