You've been kicked in the nuts. (more rackings)

Tonight, I took a closer look at the Mr. Beer thingy and it will NOT fit in my minifridge, but one of the 1 gallons will, so MAYBE I'll make a small batch of apple lager.

Paul helped out some tonight with the nut breaking, uhh, rackings.

We racked the JAO Mead into the Mr. Beer container with three campden tabs. Hydrometer showed it at 1.032. I had been worried about getting the oranges out of the carboy and was surprised at how easily they came out of the jug while cleaning. One or two of them just lined up and slid right out, the rest would stick in the neck of the carboy, but I could simply pinch them between two fingers and pull 'em out.

Once clean, I racked the apfelwein from one 5-gal to the other with 5 campden tabs. And forgot to thief enough to measure it with a hydrometer.

The mead is proceding nicley to being tasty, it's definitly young and rough. Paul said it had an almost chemicaly aftertaste. (fussel?) He also thought it was thin.
