racking and dry-hopping

this is called racking....moving the fermented beer (wort) into another glass carboy...you filter out the sludge with a mesh bag and a "racking cane" (used to siphon out the brew).
then we drop a bag of hops in to the brew and let it sit for a week or two. we will be bottling hopefully next wednesday, so that we can take some up to the folks house for christmas! half way there!! so far it taste very grapefruit-y(that is the chinook hop)...quite hoppy...but thats how we like our beer here in the mann household. our favorite beer isnt called "pure hoppiness" for nothin'!
