I'm a novice brewer, and I've got a batch of ale going. So I'm following the instructions on my kit that say, "transfer to secondary." AFTER I did that, I came online to ask, "why did I do that?" That's when I found out that you really, really want to avoid oxygenation during that transfer.
Judging by the amount of bubbles present after I opened that spigot and let it slosh into my carboy, I'd say I oxygenated the hell out of it. I guess next time I'll use the siphon....
I've read some posts that say that oxidation takes time and that I should bottle it and drink it quickly.
Question: if I bottle it now, how long should I wait until I start drinking it?
