I just transferred my first brew to secondary and was wondering, are you supposed to leave any liquid at all in the primary? From what I understood, the auto-siphon tool that I used was not supposed to touch the bottom of the primary carboy (otherwise the gunk would be transferred as well), and if this is correct, then aren't you forced to leave a little bit of liquid in the primary?
On the same topic, anywhere I read it says that exposure to oxygen at this stage is very important to prevent. When you transfer from primary to secondary, once you pop the airlock from the primary to the point where you put on the airlock on the secondary, a good 10 minutes goes by...so is that fine? Or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.
