Bottle and Secondary

Sorry for the delay in updating, I have been extremely busy with the holidays.

The Four Lane is in bottle and is nicely carbonating. It finished up at 1.031 FG so we have a beer around 11.3%. It did miss the 12% target, but I am very happy with the flavor, body and color.

The Fireside is coming along nicely and will be racked into secondary this afternoon with another four ounces of bittersweet (70% cacao) and six pounds of raspberry puree. I plan on leaving it in secondary for two weeks and then check the flavor. Hopefully I can have it up and bottled by the first of February so it will be ready by Valentine's Day.

Until later, happy brewing and happy drinking!
