First Beer Batch Transfer to Carboy



After a few days of fermenting in the primary fermenter, I transfered the newborn beer to the secondary fermenter (the glass carboy). Here are some pics of my baby after the transfer. I look like the proud father of a newborn baby. At this stage it has about half of the alcohol content as it will when the entire process is completed. Also, it is supposed to lighten in color as time goes by. Since it is an amber ale and not a light beer, the color will be "amber" not "yellow". It will sit in this carboy for about a week or so, and then I will carbonate the beer and bottle it. Then, it will have to condition and age for about 2 weeks, before chilling, then drinking.

Hey, brother! It's MJ. How do I do about finding a local distributor who carries Frick's "FN" Beer? You konw I gotta try it. And have you considered competing with the Widmer's on a Wheat Beer?
