Hey All,
I just bottled and pressure barrelled my beer today, from it's fermentation bucket (it was a Wherry kit).
While trying to get the last of the beer out, i managed to suck through about one or two desert spoons-worth of the sediment from the bottom of the FV into the pressure barrel.
Basically, the auto siphon i was using, with the sediment trap on it wasn't pulling beer through any more so i swapped to a much bigger hose and tap, without a trap on :nah:
I won't be doing that again.
Is this going to be an issue for the beer in the barrel?
I really don't want to move it if i don't have to in case of mixing air in!
I suppose, i could go grab some more bottles tomorrow and move it into them using the tap.
I've nurtured this for two weeks, been anal about sterilization and tried to be patient but i rushed a bit this morning.
I new i'd probably suck out sediment with the pants siphon that came with the kit (without a sediment trap). Hence why I bought another pants one, with a sediment trap on.
Think i need to re-think this stage of the process don't I.
Regards,
Jonathan.
