Hey All,
Today i transferred my Nut Brown Ale to my secondary 5 gallon carboy and the end of the siphon hose was about 1-1 1/2 feet above the bottom of the carboy. I didn't think anything of it, but by the time i finished it ended up oxygenating the heck out of my beer. When i filled it up to the top, i had tons of oxygen bubbles on the surface. I even had some pretty decent airlock activity in the secondary for the 1st hour after the transfer. About a bubble every 10 seconds.
Is this splashing bad for my baby? If so, why?
Also, how the heck do you get that last bit of beer out of the primary? I had about a 1 1/2 inch layer that i didn't want to lose. So i put it through a crude filter directly into a Grolsch bottle with some sugary syrup (boiled water/table sugar). The results weren't pretty as of yet. I want to see if the sludge carbonates.
