I demand fruit. Five pounds of it.

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.
