Thanks very much for the help with my previous question.
Our first batch had its first fermentation for a little over a week in buckets, then syphoned into its second in buckets with lids and airlocks, currently 1.5 weeks. Then, we received our demijohns by courier today!
Is it OK to syphon it from its secondary home, the buckets with lids and airlocks, into demijohns? I had wondered if the dangers of over-oxidation and disturbing its carbon dioxide might outweigh the benefits of a) really knowing that it is air-tight, instead of hoping (the airlock hasn't been bubbling), and b) being able to see it.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I assume it will be at least another week before it's worth testing to consider bottling. We're very anxious to try it!
Thanks very much in advance.
