I decided to rack into secondary today, the gravity was about right and the bubbles had come to a near stop. This was an adventure and I really hope my beer survives.
First as I was attaching the hose to get from the bucket to the carboy somehow i managed to slip and the hard plastic piece took a couple layers of skin with it. Re sanitized, covered it up and continued. Then as I am pumping it into the carboy the hose comes lose and beer continues to flow out as I scramble to stop it (this was pretty funny actually.). Then to top it off after I put the rubber stopper in the carboy and my bubbler (which I had sitting in my cleaning solution until now). As I press it in it starts leaking cleaning solution into the beer. Apparently some got stuck in the stem of the bubbler that I didn't notice.
Think my beer will survive? I was able to take a taste test and...MAN it was wonderful. More so just worried about the small amount of cleaning solution that made its way into the beer.
Anyone else ever have any fun times like this getting it from primary to secondary?
