McLuckey Ale bottled

Finally got the house cleaned up enough (and delabeled enough bottles) to lay the McLuckey ale down for a couple weeks.

The secondary really worked wonders on this beer. The primary fermentation had stalled at 1.006 (corrected), and the citra hop character was a touch stronger than I wanted. I also did notice a little sweetness I didn't mention earlier, because I was afraid that was going to carry through to the finished product.

Well, final gravity out of the secondary (~1 week) was 1.003 (corrected), sweetness is gone and the hop character is tamed to just a gentle citrusy finish. This raises expected ABV to be 4.5-5%, and as soon as it carbonates, it'll be ready for consumption. This turned out so good I almost don't want to share it with the group, lol. But instead I think I'll just have to repeat this brew again as soon as I knock out the Zwier and winter ale brews. I also had much more efficient recovery with this beer, with final volume being ~4.5 gallons (24 bottles and a full pig).
