Beer syphoned!
So, tonight the beer was syphoned from one beer bucket to a clean, sterilised similar beer bucket. This took a lot longer that I would have thought, probably owing to the small difference in altitude between one bucket and the other. Erm . . . I'm kind of guessing there. Anyway, all the gunk from the original beer bucket was left out, which was kind of sad (just because it's gunk, doesn't mean it's all bad, surely?! Surely?!), as there was quite a lot of it, and I couldn't help but wonder if beer gunk had been given an unnecessarily bad name . . . I hate to waste beer and wasting beer gunk . . . well, I don't whether that's good or bad . . . but, hey, I went with Lucy's advice and left it out. The beer in the new barrel is now looking decidedly clean and gunk-free. Now I just need to leave it for another week or two.

  • Comment: Well, I've still got it. It's just there in the other fermenting barrel. I wouldn't really know how to harness the power of yeast into a bread formation though. Erm . . .
