yeah I don't think I have ever racked to a secondary before when I was brewing, but this one had tons of gunk in it and I kind of felt like I needed to get it off and away from all of that. plus I had to add 5 more oz of hops to it so I racked it. hopefully I will have a keg set up here by the...

I am in the same boat. I got into brewing and went all out and got right into it by building myself a decent 3 tier setup with everything I needed to jump into ag. then I had to relocate to the other side of the world into a tiny apartment so I sold all of my equipment and did a few small...
check out a place called Griesbrau. I was just there a couple weeks ago and got a tour of the place. the brewer there is cool as hell and loves to talk about brewing and loves to show off his beers. If you go there ask him about his snuff machine too. definitely an interesting piece.
