Baltic Porter - racking off

Racked off the Baltic Porter tonight. After a rocky, volcanic, and messy fermentation, it is looking excellent. Considering it was in the brew pan only 10 days ago, the taste is fantastic, the best I've tasted so far for a beer at this stage in the making, loads of layers to the flavour from the different malts

 I always stick a straw in the end of the syphon tube so I don't get spit on the valve that goes into the beer.

 We'll leave it for a couple of weeks to clear and mature a little before bottling it.
