Update on #2 & #3

Tried the American Amber finally after a long week of studying and an exam on the very animal that can turn my precious meade into vinegar instead of ethanol..BACTERIA. It was awesome. It had a bit of a hard taste to begin with then mellowed nicely on the palate. The bottles have little to now sediment in them so my racking technique is getting better. It has a nice even "true" beer brown and a great smell. And as for #3 it exploded into fermentation sometime overnight, so I hope to rack maybe next Thursday.
