Hi Guys, first time using a bottling bucket with spigot yesterday. This was a pale ale that was in the fermentor for 3 weeks.
As I was bottling via gravity feed using a bottling wand, a number of small bubbles were coming through the hose and into the bottles. I was getting nervous because I know that air is the enemy of beer at this stage. There were no leaks at the spigot and I couldn't hear air getting sucked in there either.
Could this have just been natural carbonation that was being released by the siphoning action?
