So this is a dumb noobie mistake. I'm in the process of making Yooper's Dog Fish Head IPA clone. This morning was the day to rack to the secondary. I took a hydrometer reading and it was at 1.013. Good enough for me, and this morning was really the only time I was going to have in the next few days to do the transfer. I sanitized a bucket and all my materials, added the hops for dry hopping, and racked to the secondary with sanitized lid, stopper and airlock. Now, I'm reading the buckets are not good for secondary fermentations . I know I should have read that sooner, but I didn't. Should I:
1. Proceed as planned and hope for the best.
2. Get a glass carboy and transfer
3. Prime and Bottle
4. Take some other action
Thanks for your help.
