I just wanted to start out by saying thanks to everybody. You all are a wealth of knowledge and overall just a great bunch of peeps.
Well its been a week and i transferred my Oktoberfest to a secondary carboy. There was a about half a gallon of crude on the bottom (added Irish moss and forgot to strain before throwing in bucket) i used an auto siphon to do the transfer all started out well then about half way through I didn't realize that the tip of the hose came out of the beer and air backed up the tube. With one good pump i pushed a ton of air back into my secondary. How much air can i get away with out affecting my beer. It was a decent amount and made a loud glug noise. (probaly just have noob jitters)
Also is it worth it to invest in a couple of better bottles with the racking systems?
