Hello everyone,
I have a quick question that hopefully brings an answer that won't upset me...
Background: I brewed a Oatmeal Stout on Sunday (2/7) and on Thursday morning (2/11) I did not see any movement in the carboy. In a semi-drunken, pissed off state of mind, I decided to shake a carboy a bit to see if that would do anything. Well, by Thursday night, I started to see some movement in the carboy, so it looks like it just took some time for the fermentation to begin... (This morning it was fermenting as normal)
My question is.. Did I make a boo-boo by shaking the carboy? (oxygenating the beer)?
