I am primary fermenting in a 6 gal class carboy, can I siphon my beer into the bottling pale, then clean and sanitize the carboy then transfer the beer back into the cleaned carboy for secondary fermentation?
Also, I forgot to let the wort cool down after boiling and added it to 2.5 gallons of room temp water, then added about another gallon of room temp water to the wort to make the 5 gallons, i then pitched the year, is it possible the beer was to warm yet to pitch the yeast? i have read if it is too warm it can end up having a solvent like taste in the end. Vigourus fermentaion has begun and all appears to be working well so far
Thanks
