Had a brew day challenge today...
I went to autosiphon a fermented batch into my bottling bucket. Before I started I noticed a little mold in the tubing. I threw that tubing out, and all I had left was a very short replacement piece.
I siphoned what I could, being careful to minimize splashing. But eventually I could no longer get a siphon going, and ended up having to pour the fermented batch into the bottling bucket. I was careful, and tried to pour it slowly down the inside of my bottling bucket to avoid splashing.
I want to RDWHAHB, but was wondering if I oxidized my beer. Be a crying shame if I did, because it's a really nice looking batch.
I've also learned a valuable lesson about changing tubing on a regular basis, and keeping extra on hand.
Thanks
