Alright! Secondary fermentation is go! The primary fermentation went well. I probably could've waited longer to transfer (the recipe gave a primary fermentation of 7 days, mine was slightly under 5).

This time, the transfer went much smoother. I had a slight issue with the yeast bed getting in the way, but it was not nearly as bad as the first time. Smells great too.

So. The Stout is now sitting on my counter, cleaning itself up and conditioning. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a hydrometer reading before moving it to the carboy. I'll let it sit until next weekend at the earliest, probably until after Thanksgiving.

More updates later!
