No idea on the OG and FG, I am starting up on a bit of a minimalist setup at the moment simply because I am between jobs and can't justify too much.
As for the rinsing, I have learned my lesson, from now on I will be a starsan convert.
Since I tasted from the primary though, putting it into the secondary wasn't an issue simply because that hadn't happened yet. That said, after tasting, when I did put it into the secondary, I just went with my original methods simply because I don't have starsan yet (will get that soon), and because it was likely already infected (the local homebrew asked me a lot of suggestions then said that chances are that is what it was). As a result I dropped some capdem tablets in (after a good crushing) and am hoping that maybe the funkiness will mellow with time.
And yes, Champagne yeast for all of it. Kind of wish I didn't now, I didn't really want something that would be so dry. Oh well.
