The Czech Pilsner I brewed a couple weekends ago was just transferred to 
secondary fermentation and is chilling happily at 42 degrees in my 
fridge (warmest I could make it).  Yield was a lot lower than I was 
expecting, maybe 3 and a half gallons, edging towards 4. 

On the upside the flavor is good.  I took a sample and it had a very 
pleasant taste, which is unusual for a beer just going to secondary 
fermentation.  It has a more mellow hops profile than originally 
intended, probably because I'm not brewing with the freshest hops. 

For the next batch of beer I'll be ordering my hops from Northern 
Brewer, where they seem to be able to still get most varieties.  Or 
driving over to Red Salamander, but he's a bit out of the way for me.
