I've currently got a Youngs Oaked Rum Ale on the go. Tonight I noticed a very strong smell coming from the room where my FV is. On inspection I realised that the tap on my coopers FV Is leaking. (it's lasted all of 3 weeks!). :-(
Luckily, I bought another FV over the weekend, but I haven't yet gotten round to buying a syphon. So after mopping up 3.5 litres of the stuff I drained it into my new FV using the tap. I did it as slowly as possibly so as not to oxygenate the brew but there were a few bubbles floating on the top when I was done. Could this have any adverse effect on it?
It's been on for 11 days now and the Gravity has stabilised (my fabulously accurate Coopers hydrometer is reading 999!!:lol:)so it'll be a shame if I've buggered it at this stage.
