racking the homebrew
bridget and i racked the bitch's brew on monday night i was very apprehensive (okay, downright scared) about the siphoning process what if air gets in? what if we infect the beer? what if our siphoning skills suck? scary man! i think all went well... beer is out of the fermenting bucket and into a carbuoy sanitize, sanitize, sanitize: racking cane, siphone hose and bung sitting in a tub of sanitizer siphon like you know what you're doing: lots of sludge (or trub) at the bottom of the fermenting bucket: i think our brew is a lovely colour: carbuoy cover to keep out the indirect sunlight: fingers crossed we did everything right and will have a drinkable beer in a couple of weeks!
