Not sure yet... Popped one in the fridge today. I will try tomorrow and let you know. No worries!

Hey all... I'll be packaging up the Cherry Dubbel tomorrow and hope to ship them out by end of the day. They are super cherry flavored and very tart... Not sure my opinion on that, but I think they will age and mellow nicely... FYI, I received the Honey Ginger and Caramel Quad intact...

+5.5 gallons Bourbon Barrel Porter = 49,502.5

Sparging a bourbon barrel porter right now, plus I am enjoying my first Hot Scotchie of the season!

Spiced Cherry Dubbel got bottled up tonight. 53 bottles in total!

I also am planning to bottle the Spiced Cherry Dubbel within the next week (Sunday most likely). It has been sitting in tertiary for awhile and I haven't paid much attention to it, so I am looking forward to getting another taste at bottling time.

Don't worry Uncle Creamster... I know my wife is a hottie. I followed the typical homebrewer marrying up rule. Thankfully, my boy got her looks as well!

So, those cherries have kicked up a pretty vigorous secondary fermentation. I probably filled the carboy a little too high and had to attach a blowoff tube yesterday morning, but c'est la vie! The starsan in my flask at the end of my blowoff is a nice bright pink!

Here is a nice one of my SWMBO with my baby boy.

Cherry Dubbel

So, I just finished poppin' the cherries on the Spiced Cherry Dubbel. I racked onto 5 lbs of tart cherries (in the cans below) and 6 lbs of sweet cherries (in the bags). My plan is to let it sit on the cherries for about 2 months before bottling in late October/early November to carb up for...
