Beer Making Day Three


Today the stuff is blowing crazy. The sink and hose are all dirty with stuff. I will wait a few more days until it settles down to change the hose to the little gas trap thingy.

My wife is convinced that the stuff blowing out the hose will stain the sink- it is one of those composite sinks- so I put the end of the hose into the drain. She scrubbed out the sink, I would have but she beat me to the punch line.

I am a little worried about all the sediment on the bottom of the carboy - why is it called a carboy? Anyway there is a lot of sediment about an inch or so (it looks like). I guess I will need to either filter it in a cheesecloth or just be careful when I pump it out.

I bought this nifty little pump that consists of two tubes, one bigger than the other. They fit together to make a little pump with a croaked neck. The idea is to put a tube on the end of it and pump the wort into each bottle after I add the final malt to give it the extra sugar to prime the yeast and add carbonation.
