The Warpharin Ale has finished clearing and tastes superb. It finished at a modest 1.010 (two points better than expected) making the ABV 4.84%. It will be a lovely session beer - perfect for those marathon band practices. The beer has a medium malty character with a nice hop presence, but low in bitterness. The color is a rich amber. Also, brown sugar lightens the body somewhat giving it a "snappier" feel.
The Winter Warmer has been happily aging for a couple of months, but still needs a good dose of spices. I'm still debating what to spice it with...
The Bergamais just prior to pitching the yeast.

Nice photo of the hydrometer. I got a feeling that Warpharin Ale is going to be very tasty.
Oh, sweet, I didn't know you were doing wine!
Love the hydrometer photo Keith! Brae
Thanks for the feedback - I love to take pictures in the dark! By the way, the wine is fermenting very well, even though it's bit chilly at 60ºF.
