Hi Guys,
I brewed up an APA 7 days ago and transferred it to secondary today. I gave the beer a whiff, and man, my nostrils were burning from the alcohol or CO2. Is this normal?
Part of me thinks I may have transferred a bit too early, there was still a bit of krausen, about an inch, and the airlock in secondary is bubbling about every 40-45 seconds.
Do you think I'll have any bad results because I racked maybe a bit too early?
The color of the beer looks nice, and the smell, although strong, is good. This is also my firt time dry hopping, so I hope that goes ok. I just threw them into secondary and racked right on top of them.
Sorry I'm kinda rambling at this point, I just want to be sure that you guys think it'll be ok in the end.
I did not take an O.G., but did take a reading when I racked to secondary. Reading was 1.011.
