Racked to secondary today at gravity of 1.000. 1.5 crushed tablets of potassium metabisulfite split between the two. I also purged the half empty one with co2. Now its a waiting game for the flavor maturity. Tasted the gravity sample and my conclusion is "meh".
Alcohol by Volume = (Initial Gravity - Final Gravity) / 0.75=12.26

Looks rather nice! If the taste isn't quite right, perhaps some frozen raspberries to secondary next time and maybe a little vanilla?

The Raspberry is there as is the Cinnamon I just expected a little more something. This is gonna need a little time to meld for sure.

I'd back-sweeten a little with some raspberry juice if you can find it. 1.000 is pretty dry.

I will probably have to do that, I'll see in 6 to 8 months.
