Final Equipment Check and Secondary Fermentation.

*This was a touch delayed due to time constraints before my journey. But I am posting it anyway!*

We are on the eve of my next adventure. Far into the distant land of Idaho. As I am a very meticulous person when it comes to such journeys. I will share with you the methodology of my final equipment check. Largely taken from my time in the Army. I just love seeing everything laid out before I pack it up and go on my way. I'm a bare essentials kind of guy. This is what I need and think I might need for the trip. 


Here we have a cool helmet(with awesome stickers. Very important), goggles, knee pads, BASE packing items, clothes, GoPro Camera(charged and ready), SD card reader, small camera, boots... Probably missing some stuff but whatever.


Additionally, because of the trip I have to move my IPA into secondary fermentation a few days ahead of schedule. But my apartment is quite warm most of the time and it looks like the yeast has done its work for now. But the process is simple and awesome. Seeing your own wort-made-beer is an amazing thing. All one must do is check the gravity to see if it is in the right ballpark and then let the beer sit in a clean carboy for a few more weeks before we can put it into bottles. And the gravity is good.



Now I must be on my way, off into the Mountain West!
