Racking the Stout...01/18/10

Cleaned/sanitized racking EQ. Airlock, siphon, hosing, thief...

Here is the stout after 115 hours in the primary. Everything went as planned, and I decided to rack into secondary so I could see it in the carboy for the next weeks...

Regular siphoning, pretty straight forward.



Almost done...



Airlock in place and we've got our stout in the secondary glass carboy. This will help with pure flavors and a better tasting beer. I'm quite glad I took this step with the IPA. There would be an unfavorable aftertaste (due to spent hop residuals resting in the beer) had I not done so.
Cheers!
