Enjoying the brewing

I transferred the porter to the secondary the other day.  It’s doing nicely – still fermenting a little.  The gravity was 1.017 when I transferred and the color was great.  The SG was 1.055 so I’m hoping for a solid brew with about 5.5% alcohol content.  I will rack it mid week.  I did take a little taste and …OOOOOhhhhh.. it’s going to be smooth.

I am planning on brewing a pale ale with a slight hint of citrus after this porter.  Probably later this summer.  If I can’t keep the temp down, I’ll brew a Belgian.

Biblical Hebrew is going well.  I find that I’m taking to it quite easily.  We’ll see how it goes as the summer progresses.  Lot’s of jots and tiddles.  LOL

‘til next time.
