Well after I aerated it, I got a good head of yeast:

I've just racked it today into the secondary. The measured SG was 1014 - not as low as I expected but it is still working slowly.

I had a taste and it is not too shabby :D :D

I've also stored some of the yeast too so we'll see how that turns out.

QUOTE (eskimobob @ May 14 2006, 02:17 PM)Ok, thanks guys - looks like I have learnt a lesson there  :rolleyes:
I have just tried it in the sink with a jug of water and a funnel and it seems to work like that; perhaps the combination of doing it upside down as it were, the small bore on the boiler tap and the hop filter was just too much.  I'll try again next brew.

The wort is now cool enough so I have just measured the OG (1042) and pitched the yeast starter  :D

Look somebody shoulda said...

"Now that had a nice colour for stout".

Oops! That would be me then... ;)
