As a thought could yo have bailed/tipped the wort into the fv, refitted the filter, returned wort to gf and carry on as if nothing had happened :)
Yes that would have also been a better option than what I actually did! *facepalm*
..........
Any advice or opinion on my approach welcomed as I really am making it up as I go!
I would take advantage and do a dry run on your kegging to iron out any mishaps that may occur prior to transfer as you never know what could happen....:whistle:So this is becoming a little blog about my progress. Thought anyone else might benefit or if anyone is keen to find out how it turns out.
After moving to the fridge it took roughly a day to get to 20.5c where it has been now for a day. The airlock has also slowed considerably. I decided to take a gravity reading and it is at 1.011 target was 1.013 so reckon it's done.
Plan is to leave until Saturday and move to a secondary with dry hop for about 10-14 days and kegging for the first time.
The sample tasted absolutely fine. The dry hops were only really going to try to disguise off flavours but have them now so gonna do it anyway.
Oh and I've bought a hop spider for my GF!
