I'm coming back to brewing after a year off or so. I basically liquidated my brew works when I went on hiatus. I kept the bare minimums to make a batch.
So about two weeks ago, I did a Boring Brown Ale. Promash has the recipe starting SG at 1.039. I didn't check because I no longer have a hydrometer (and to be honest, the nerd factor of this hobby is part of the reason I went on hiatus). Fermentation went normally.
Today I must brew a Grapefruit Rose Saison. I apparently have no choice, others are relying on me. So that Boring Brown has to go to secondary. It's bubbling every 20 secs. Krausen has fallen, but its just a tad frothy at the top. I have a feeling when I jiggled it to move it out of the way last week, I inadvertently started it again.
So, saison today, brown to secondary. I'm going to taste it. If it's not done, I'm going to repitch in secondary. And then I'm gonna go buy another primary for backup when I bottle that brown.
Any thoughts on this plan?
