Today i racked my beer from my primary fermenter into my secondary carboy . The beer had been in the primary fermenter for 5 days, all activity had ceased within the first 3 days (dry yeast). The issue i was having is i would start siphoning the beer and the stream was solid throughout the tube for about 15-30 seconds then it would start to develop an air pocket until it would completely stop. I think what was happening was the tube was leaking around where the tube slides over the racking cane, but the thought didnt occur to me until i was done siphoning. Anyways, I had to repeat siphoning quite a few times to get all my beer out of my primary, and at one point i lifted the tubing up too high and i got lengthly air bubble blow back into my primary, disturbing the yeast. When i was done racking into my secondary i noticed a little bit of foam at the top of the carboy from what i believe was from the oxygen being pulled in from the leak around the racking cane.
Anyways, what i am getting at here is i would like some peoples opinion on what i should do with my beer at this point. Should i discard the whole batch or leave it in the secondary and hope that the beer is not effected by my mistake? I appreciate any insight at this point
