Thanks for the comments...and yes, I wanted a light contrast to draw the eye to them, and maybe a little depth of field....I'm not done tweaking them yet though, I'm not sure the color palette will remain the same....

Spot on...... I do the same thing. I also bought a 2gallon fermenter and experiment with that. Easier to pour out two gallons than 5. I added roasted pecans and some vanilla to my caribou slobber and it was one of the best loved at our last Christmas party. Experiment and have fun!
