Howdy fellow hop-heads!
I started up my first batch Sunday March 7th and moved it to the secondary a week later. Everything seems to be bubbling right along. I did have some difficulty when racking to the carboy from the pail - I had to get the siphon going a few times with my mouth(after gargling with 151 rum). At any rate - I am going to keg it this Sunday provided the FG looks right. I'll be picking up an autosiphon while I'm at the shop to prevent further issues of the sort. I'm not so worried after reading the blunder/success stories sticky on here. The guys at the shop also said I should just go ahead and add the priming DME(after boiling with 16oz. H2O) since I would be kegging and carbing via the CO2. Thoughts?
I'll keep ya posted!
Cheers
