This is what a clump of Magnum hop leaves looks like.
The jug on the left has a little more than an oz of steamed oak chips and a teabag filled with the Magnum hops and Centennial hop pellets; on the right, only hops.
I could not get the siphon going even with a lot of effort (and a few colorful adjectives thrown in). So I had to pour the primary through funnels into each secondary. I bought an auto-siphon the next day. I really couldn't understand why this happened. Is there any scientific reason that siphoning 2 gallons from a 6.5 gallon carboy wouldn't work?
After a few hours the secondaries had cleared up significantly. There is little sign of fermentation. I'm hoping that this is due to the yeast starter, and is not a 'stuck fermentation'. We'll see how it tastes in a few weeks.
Here's a better picture of the secondaries.

Any fermentation going on now?
Looks good.
Doesn't seem like it. As soon as I get the auto siphon I'll probably bottle it.
