Brown bottling day!

First, a raspberry amber update. The original brix reading was 10.8%. The reading we took today was 4.6%. This gives us a final ABV of 5.3% (using http://onebeer.net/refractometer.shtml).
Three weeks in the bottle is definitely what was needed to make the raspberry PERFECT! The carbonation is spot on, the head retention is fantastic, the taste and color are both AMAZING!

Now, on to the brown!
The brix is currently 6.9%. We plan on having the brown sit for a couple weeks till we taste, but we are saving the majority of this batch for our first tasting party. We will be starting another raspberry batch next week and once that is ready we will schedule the party. If you would like to come please let us know! We are also still looking for logo designs and name suggestions for our beers. Feel free to leave your suggestions in the comments or email us at hazelday81@gmail.com.
