Did I just ruin my 2XIPA?
As I racked the secondary over to the bottling bucket I multitasked and finished moving some bottles around and preparing caps for the rest of the process.
When I got back to the secondary/bottling bucket I realized that the auto syphon had moved enough to put strain on its inner gasket and was allowing air to mix in with the beer. There it was bubbling away. After a a frantic few seconds fixing the issue I finished racking to the bucket.
This has never happened before. My bottling and racking technique has always been smooth and without error. What should I expect from this mistake? Is the beer garbage now?
