This is the second part of the beer brewing Tasty Tuesday posts. If you remember from last time I'm brewing an American Pale Ale. I let the beer ferment in the primary fermenter for nearly 2 weeks. I usually only keep beer in the primary for 1 week at the most but I have been short on time and I was also curious to see how a longer fermentation time would affect the beer.
When I removed the lid to the primary fermenter I got the aroma of a healthy dose of hops. This is going to be one hoppy beer! I know a lot of you don't like hoppy beers and to that all I can say is, "that's a shame". Now, I had to filter the beer and siphon it into my secondary fermentation tank, a glass carboy. This should stay in the carboy for another 2 weeks and then after that, IT'S BOTTLING TIME! As always, I'll keep you posted.
This is what the beer looked like when I opened the primary fermenter lid. You can see some remnants of hops on the side of the tank.
Siphoning away on my dining room table.

Take care of yourself and each other.
