Hey all!
All right, so I have a question for you guys about something I read, and then I tried it, and now I'm wondering if I just destroyed my batch of beer. So I let a Boddington's Bitter brew sit and ferment for four days, and then I was reading in Brew Your Own English Ale that he likes to let if ferment for a few days, and then siphon the beer into a secondary container for the remainder of the fermentation, and then transfer to yet another vessel for the dropping of the brew.
My question: I did this last night, thinking that I would get up today and see a new yeast "head" on the brew, and continue to see bubbling from the airlock. From first glances this morning, nothing seems to be happening, except the VERY occasional bubbling from the airlock. Nothing new has formed on top. Did I destroy my batch? Should I just continue on, and in a few more days, transfer to the dropping container?
I'm really bummed that I may have killed this one. From first appearances (and tasting it!), I think this may have been my best batch yet.
New here....first post....hello to all.....any help feedback would be great!
