Hey guys,
I am using a 6.5 gallon plastic bucket with no spigot as a primary fermenter. I am brewing a pretty standard IPA as my first beer. As I have been reading online, I have gotten a little worried about oxidation while transferring into the carboy. I do not have a spigot, so my intention was to simply take the lid off of the bucket, and siphon into the carboy. Do you think this will expose the beer to too much oxygen? I'll take any tips/advice. Thanks
