Another Snowy Spring Night ...

Well it snowed again today in Boulder.  We are getting close to another foot outside my door.  Today, of course, was also the Boston Marathon.  The events of the day should not completely obliterate the effort put into the great races people ran today.  It was those races that inspired me to get out the door and run 9 miles in the snowstorm.  Part of it on trails, basically breaking my own trail in the snow.  Will see how the adductors and groin feel about that tomorrow.  It was a fantastic run and gave me some time to ponder the events of the day.  It feels good to be able to run again.  And the performances today by Hartman, Troop and Andersen have given me some inspiration to get back at it.

Today also marked the end of primary fermentation for Brisco's Genesis Dark Mild Ale.  The krausen had fallen and CO2 off gassing had slowed from the previous day.

Krausen has fallen.  Ready to move to Secondary Fermentor.

So it was time to rack the beer into the secondary fermentor.

Siphoning from primary to secondary fermentor.


Smells like beer!


Looks nice.  Almost want to a have a pint right now.


The Yeast have been working hard and left behind quite a mess.

Unfortunately Brisco isn't feeling very well, due to an eye infection and couldn't run with me today.  Which is a shame, as he is a powder hound. He loves the snow.  Hopefully he will be feeling better soon and be ready to supervise on bottling day.
