Racking 3B to secondary

Today the weather is making me feel tired and productive at the same time. I'm tired in body but my mind is working overtime. I woke up with the goal of getting some writing done. Writing in general not necessarily on my dissertation, but on a few different things like this blog post for example. The posting is important because Barnaby is out of the country and I'd at least like to keep him abreast of the Buckwheat happenings.

I let it go a little longer in primary than I had initially planned, mostly because what I'd read of buckwheat beer and dry yeast is that it tended to be slow to get going and slow to ferment. So a few extra days in primary isn't a bad thing. I'm going to move it to a 3 gallon carboy to do a bit more bulk aging and then then crash cool it and bottle.

I have forty five more minutes of writing to do today and then I'm going to head home and get some cleaning done and read and move some files to my little laptop from my external hard drive, wash out carboys and jugs and stoppers and airlocks and get them ready to fill with beer tomorrow after I come back from my two hours of writing at the library. I will get into a routine. I will finish what I started 7 years ago and I will get a beer brewed in the coming weeks.
