Bottling the Cherry Beers

So (finally) I bottled the cherry beers. New puppy ownership and large stockpiles of finished beer have definitely curtailed my brewing; however, I am determined to brew at least twice this summer.

The first half of the batch (11 bottles) was the cherry amber ale by itself. I added 2oz. of cherry extract to the second half (13 bottles). I know that it may be a bit strong (usually one adds less than 4oz. to a five-gallon batch) but it should give me a clear idea of whether extract really makes the flavor better.

Final gravity: 1.010
Estimated ABV: 3.7% (clearly, fermentation didn't renew but cherry flavor was absorbed)
