Hi guys,
Just transferred my Pilgrims Hope to the secondary fermenter. Quick taste and wow, this is a great kit beer. Lighter than what I thought - real IPA like. Colour and taste quite Bishops Finger-esque.
When I transferred it to my carboy I ended up taking the filter bag off my syphon tube. It kept blocking and pulling air through. Since its going in a secondary I thought a few bits wouldn't harm as it will just settle out - there was lots of yeast and hop sediment left in the bottom of the FV.
Now the question I have is, will the potential O2 pulled through when I syphoned the beer cause issues? I could see the bubbles accumulating inside the syphon tube. When I took the filter bag off from my syphon it required another good pump which ultimately pushed a bit of air into the carboy. Is this something that you guys have experienced and will it cause cardboard/stale like tastes due to this?
PS, ABV was spot on at 4.98%. Really happy with the fermentation progress.
Cheers all
