I've just transferred my porter from primary to secondary. It's the first time I've used a glass carboy for primary and I have a few problems/niggles. Any help would be appreciated.
Firstly the bubble air lock must be slightly thicker than my racking cane. When I removed the cap and pulled the lock on fitting the racking cane it was not an air tight fit so I had to push the plastic tubing down against the cap to get a seal. I had to apply a lot of pressure on the other tube to get a start on the siphoning.
Secondly when the transfer started I noticed a lot of bubbles in the siphon tube,
. I'm just worried about oxidisation.
Any suggestions please as to how to rectify these problems?
