KMO brew day

We decided to make a bock for KMO's wedding. Recipe as follows:
1/2 lb crystal 80L
1/2 lb belgian caramunich
6 lbs amber malt
3 lbs amber dry malt
1 oz Hallertau hops (beginning boil)
1 0z Hallertau hops (45 mins into boil)
1 oz Mt Hood hops (finishing, 5 mins before end of boil)
irish moss
Wyeast German Ale #1007

Brix=16.5. Which gives us a SG of 1.068. On target.

We are also bottling KMO's raspberry amber tonight.
Raspberry amber update: brix = 9.0. This puts the ABV at 8.43%!!!! Damn. This is our record for oomph. KMO's wedding is gonna be a blast, fo sho.

Also transferred the KMO dunkel to secondary. Brix = 9.5. Not quite where we want it. We're going to check it again next week and may repitch if it doesn't go down some more. We're thinking this one must be a slow starter.
