my first begginers mistake

A stupid error had to happen eventually!

So I'm onto my 3rd batch. Amber ale and I'm transfering my beer into my bottling bucket when I realized I didn't but the black cap at the end of the syphon at the bottom of the fermenter. I saw it about 3/4 of the way into it.. gladly it wasn't all the way to the bottom. It took it out and installed it to finish the job.

is it a big issue ? My beer seemed more cloudy in the bucket than the previous 2 batches.

Thanks

Ive done that... I just let my bottling bucket sit a few days more.. wait for it to drop to the bottom again, and re siphon. That is if you didnt add your bottling sugars

ya sugar was already in... and it's bottled. So I'll wait and see.

just pour carefully, no biggie

I agree... no biggie. May not be as clear as you'd like but you'll have good beer none the less...

Rdwhahb!

I lost that black cap years ago.
No big deal

You may have a bit more sediment at the bottom of your bottles, but it shouldn't be a biggie. Definitely chill your beer for a good 48 hours before pouring. As with any homebrew, pour slow and steady, and you should be A-OK.
