Brew Batch #44 REINKE'S REVENGE 2010
FG 1.014 +0.001@ 74F to yield a healthy 9.85%abv. I've tried different ways of brewing this batch to get better extraction and consistent abv content, but this one really surprised me with the abv. I can only account it to the raspberry added. I kegged 2.5C and put the rest into a dozen 22oz bombers with black crowns for sampling later. This is one for the record books. I thought the fruit addition was going to be a racking hassle but it wasn't too bad. I'll toy with the idea of fruit plus wood on the next batch to maybe incorporate the last 2 batches into one. This puts it closer to 9.85%, yikes!
