Dad's Stout

Well, it had been 2 weeks, so I thought it should be time to bottle up dad's stout.  I got everything sanitized and the bottles ready to fill.  I brewed a new batch of breakfast stout for myself and got everything ready to put on the lees of the milk stout.

Disaster, the milk stout wasn't finished fermenting.  I checked the gravity and it still needs to drop at least another 10 points.  Here I am, everything ready to go and no place to put all the new beer.

Luckily I had another carboy (fermenter) that I was able to get cleaned and sanitized.  I got the milk stout transferred and a new airlock put on it.  I let the new beer slow cool and then here on Wednesday I'm going to check the gravity again and see if I got those final 10 points.

The new beer I brewed for myself came in @ 1.070 which is pretty heavy.  Lots of oatmeal.  It did however start fermenting quite quickly when I threw it on the old yeast cake from dad's stout.
