I'm so excited!

I finally bottled my first batch yesterday and it is now sitting in the closet to condition. I do have a slight concern, though. While I was racking into my bottling bucket, the auto siphon came slightly out of the beer and I could hear it sucking up the liquid. I could then see bubbles form in the bottling bucket when it finally made it through the hose. Will this have any effect on the final product?

probably not, you will be surprised at how forgiving beer is, regardless of the rules.

if anything else chalk it up as experience

 

[Hello]

Not at all. In fact, I always tried to stop that from happening thinking it mattered then I watched this video linked below. I figured I will continue not allowing it to happen but if it does, it is not the end of the world.

Congrats on your first beer!

Like the others have said,.....not going to be a problem...don't sweat it

Thanks, guys. I didn't think it would be an issue, but it's nice to know for sure. Now, I just have to wait for them to be ready for drinking.

A little oxygenation is OK. But too much & it'll taste like moldy cardboard.

Which, of course, goes well with freezer section pizza.
