Made some little mistakes with timing when making the wort, but overall things went fairly well. Hit a FG of 1.013 for about 36 hours, so decided I wanted get the beer a little clearer and try moving it to a secondary fermentor. I've since read all the advice on this forum and elsewhere about how, mostly, useless that is except in certain scenarios. Problem: I used my bottling bucket as the secondary. Now reading more about aeration and oxygenation, I'm worried about how I'm going to bottle this beer without introducing more oxygen, or whether this is even something I should care about. Question: I only just did this yesterday, should I a) just get the priming sugar in it today and bottle asapb) let it sit a few days, and then transfer back to the primary fermentor, clean and sanitize the bottle bucket and move it back and bottlec) go out and buy another bottling bucket, and rack the beer into that bucket for bottling after it's been sitting for a few daysThanks for your help. It's been fun so far, but it's the nerve racking feeling of omg, did I just ruin or make something pretty awful after waiting weeks for it to be done...</blockquote>
