So I am a bit confused on this, I am told not to introduce air to the wort while in the secondary ferm stage. My wort has slowed to a small bubble (airlock activity) about every 2 minutes. If I take a sample with a sanitised turkey baster wont this introduce air(by removing the cap) to the beer and possibly spoil it. I then put the sample back in cap it and hope theres enough fermentation (co2) escaping to push the oxygen back out!
how much co2 air lock activity do i need to remove the oxygen? I have a 5 gallon glass carboy and theres about 8 cubic inches of empty space.
I am then told to wait 2 more days to make sure theres no change in the gravity! what do you guys do?
Gravity readings so far are 1.036, 1.038 1.010 in that order!
