Hello Everyone,
My first brew I am working on an English Pale Ale.
The Wort came together perfectly Friday night, so about 5 days ago and I believe the temperature was cool enough when I transferred it to the glass carboy. I did not take a hydrometer reading though and I have yet to take one, is this going to make this a fail?
I believe the primary fermentation is about complete because it is barely bubbling, I also cannot take a reading from the glass carboy, I think I need to get a turkey baster.
Now I have a bucket with a spigot and the top has a rubberized hole that I could attach the let out valve. Should I move it to that bucket for secondary fermentation or leave it in the carboy longer? Should I have began in the bucket from the start? and then moved to carboy followed by bottling in bucket?
What do you guys think? From what I have been reading it looks like the opinions vary.
