Brewing and bottles and rackings! Oh my!

OK! Quickie entry!

James and I brewed beer! Film at eleven! (not really)
Fun with whole grains and sparging and such.

Afterwards, I bottled the Maple Cinnamon Mead with one Campden tab (I'm calling it MCM from now on).
4.5 bottles (I had a 375ml bottle shapped like a cat and painted black[it was a real pain in the ass to fill because I couldn't see the level in it at all until it ran up to the top]).
- It's a medium bodied mead that is still pretty immature or 'green' tasting right now. Definitely gonna let it sit for a while.

Then, I racked the Apple Lager of some KING into two of the gallon jugs. I put one outside in the garage and one in the minifridge in the basement. The fridge will start at 55F and I'm gonna decrease it 2-4 degrees per day. The spot in the garage at the moment is 40F. Being that it's right up against the door, it only gets down to about 32F at the lowest.

THEN, (I was bored tonight, can you tell?) I racked the wassail with three campden tabs. I managed to leave MOST of the fruit debris and lees behind, but still got a fair amount of it. I'll rack again fairly soon.
