Ropey Beer (bad) - secondary fermenter good!

May we never experience this:

Certainly it is justification for keeping everything really clean. I have the Home Brewers' Journal to thank for reminding me of that article in BYO.

I just bought a secondary fermenter today. Keystone is sending me a new PET plastic carboy tomorrow. The IPA should get brewed tomorrow, and I figure I will rack it to the second fermenter in a week. Should make it a crisper brew because none of the break proteins will be there in the secondary. I might even harvest the yeast for the German Altbier.

Whole new world... :-)
