i just started my first ever batch 2 days ago and didn't exactly follow the directions. instead of putting my wort into my carboy i put it in the bottling bucket for primary fermentation. what's the best thing for me to do from here? should i transfer it to the carboy once primary fermentation is done and then go back to the bottling bucket to bottle? if so, should i siphon it out or just let it flow through the spigot (i did sanitize it)--just worried about getting too much sediment. also, should the lid on my primary be completely tight or a little loose? i was nice getting nice bubbling in my airlock but it seems to have stopped and i'm only about 40 hrs into fermentation. thanks--next time i'll follow the directions better.
