Jeremy racked his brew to the secondary tonight

We cracked open a Weyerbacher and got to work. Actually there was a beer before that, but, there was something wrong with it. It tasted sour..for a porter. So we poured it out. What follows is a quick account of what happened. Add to this lots of BS and me trying not to be too overbearing and you pretty much have it. Thanks for inviting me over! :-)

• cleaned the carboy with some one step
• Jeremy grabbed the bucket fermenter with the beer in it
  
• gathered the rest of the equipment (stopper, airlock, autosiphon, hydrometer, tubing)
• sanitized all the equipment
• put the bucket fermenter on the counter
• took the top off
• put the autosiphon in
• put the other end of the tube in the carboy (secondary fermenter)
  
• drew back the racking cane/plunger thingy
• pushed it down and watched it gravity flow to the secondary
• Jackie took a couple pictures
• directed some of the beer into the little hydrometer flask thing so we could measure the specific gravity and taste it
  
• we tasted the Weyerbacher some more
• I told Jeremy lies about how secondary fermentation works (just checking to see if your reading)
  
• tilted the bucket to the side a bit to let the siphon draw more beer out
• stopped it just before it sucked too much of the yeast cake in
• put the sanitized stopper and airlock on the secondary
• finished the Weyerbacher
• measured the specific gravity 1.022 (should drop a bit more)
• tasted the new beer...mmm...yeasty as expected, but, spot on...gonna be a great strong pale ale, not too hoppy, not to malty, just right :-) Great job Jeremy!
  
• cracked open one of Jeremy's Dortmunders and talked a bit
• time has helped take the edge off this beer

Jeremy didn't send me the files so I could procrastinate putting them up this time ;-) Speaking of which I really need to get those up here.

Cheers!
