==Racking==
We tested the gravity at the racking and tasted it a bit. It tasted fine, but a little high gravity. We suspect that the yeast may have stopped.

== Kegging ==


==Kegging==
Kegged at gravity 1.019. The fermentation had definitely restarted if it had stopped before as a small amount of head was evident when taking the gravity and kegging. The flavor was a bit improved over the previous taste. Added 450ml of water and 1/2 cup priming sugar, boiled for sterilization.
