Today, after I racked from my secondary to my bottling bucket, I moved the bucket to my counter top, and in the process I had to move the spigot to an upright position. When I tried to move the spigot back to a position to bottle, my bucket started leaking at the spigot!
I realized the nut that threads onto the spigot had come loose, and it was slowly draining the beer out. So, I had to make a quick decision on what to do, but there aren't many options.
So, I squirted some sanitizer on my arm, stuck in in, tightened the nut, and went about the business of bottling.
And it was at that moment I realized I had graduated from beginning brewer. I didn't feel the overwhelming urge to make a thread asking if I had ruined my beer, no need to consult the myriad brewing books. I relaxed, didn't worry, and had a home brew. Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
