No racking this weekend
I’ll have to rack my two beers out of primary tonight or tomorrow. They both fermented really well, big krauesen, a lot of airlock activity and now things have settled down. If I think of it, I’ll take a gravity to get an idea of where they are and how long I should leave them in secondary.
I used to be much more on top of my batches, but I have found as I get lax with the timing, the quality of beer doesn’t suffer. Notice I am careful to say lax with timing. I am still very careful with my sanitization of the equipment!
These two should be good beer for folks who “don’t like beer” and the folks who like fruit beers. Once they are out of the primary I can get on with my IPA using the hops from my back yard. Cascades here we come!
Cheers,
Tony
