Racked remaining TBM

Today I racked the remaining TBM into the carboy. It's still pretty cloudy.

I sanitized again with oxiclean (actually Sun Oxygen cleaner - picked up 0.75 gallon from Dollar General for $5). This time I used about 0.5 scoop (1 ounce) per gallon.

Their is no easy way to rack from te TBM fermenter spigot, so I basically just poured into the carboy. I tried to run the beer down the side of the carboy, instead of a stream to reduce airation. Not sure if this is good or not.

Regretably, I allowed some sediment into the carboy. Still, I've considerably reduced the sediment.

The TBM instructions say that if the fermenter remains closed, it can be reused for more brews. So I just left it. Maybe I'll try another batch.

All bottled TBMs are still pretty cloudy.
