In other news, we are going to try washing our own yeast to use in the future, hopefully to cut down on costs a bit. We're going to try the procedure outlined at http://hbd.org/carboy/yeast_washing.htm.
Additionally, the raspberry amber is officially the most beautiful beer on the planet. We'll try to get some good photos up of it soon. The taste is fantastic as well. I'm just a little blown away by how gorgeous it is. We'll be having a small BBQ for our friends and family very soon to help us with the drinking of this beer. This won't be our official tasting party though. There are a few tweaks we want to make to the amber before we have our fancy pants tasting party.
Mead update: brix is 6.4%, and the pH is 3.0. We are going to add some calcium carbonate to raise the pH, we'd like it to ideally be around 3.8.
Till next time! ~erin and patrick~
