Brewed a honey ale tonight, all in all a great brew one of the best I've had to date.
From boil to yeast pitch took under 2 hours, so I was happy with that the immersian chiller definetely did its job.
But, while I was boiling I needed to rack a moose drool clone from primary into the keg (I needed the carboy for this beer).
I my autosiphon has developed a nasty air leak and is sucking oxygen into the hose. I tried to stove it up on the top with some foil whiched helped a little. Plus, it just would not keep the siphon, so I ended short, but I didn't want to keep pumping it and bringing in more O2.
Then I go to hook up the CO2 and find that the last keg I have in the kegeratore has a leak and I am out of CO2, so I can't even purge this keg. I did manage to get a little PSSST out of it, but that was it.
I am wondering if I should mix up a batch of priming sugar and try to naturally carb this one, mostly just to try it, or if I will be OK till tomorrow afternoon to get more CO2.
