I went ahead and bottled up the smoked porter today.  A week ago I transferred it to a secondary fermenter, which is my way of saying I racked it out of the fermenting bucket into the bottling bucket, cleaned and sanitized the fermenting bucket and put it back in to the fermenting bucket.  I need some carboys, I know.  Specific gravity when I racked it was about 1.018, today it is down to about 1.014.  I only used about 4 oz of priming sugar because, stupidly, that’s all I had.  I still need to get better with my shopping lists.

I tried my first partial mash recipe today, a smoked porter. I put together a page with pictures, view it here:
