Hey all.. noob here.
Sorry for the dumb question. I just finished topping the bottles of my first batch and I am really anxious to see how I did. I have taken plenty of notes, and I want to be able to replicate great beers and figure out what went wrong in not so great beers. I am following two brew guides and both continually remind me to watch out for air contact because it can change/contaminate the beer. I was incredibly careful, but I think I may have been two anal. I rushed to cover everything as soon as a step was done. It seemed to take away from enjoying the process because I was too concerned with air contamination and rushed to cap every top and seal every possible air entrance on the carboy, bucket, et. Am I being too anal or is this normal?
