Hi all
First post. I'm a total brewb.
I got the coopers starter kit for an English bitter and it went fine, though a bit weak. SG was 1.0042 FG 1.0015. So perhaps I used too much water or summat but I digress.
At the urging of a friend I got a secondary king keg for secondary conditioning. And it was in this phase that I made a mistake and I wanted to know if it's safe to drink my beer.
I sanitised everything before transferring. And I got an s30 valve cap and sealed it all up tight. What I didn't do, cos of stuff I saw on the net, was inject any co2 at transfer. I Thought there would be enough pressure to force out any air so no biggie. Also it happens I bought the wrong cap - no pin for co2 bulbs ðŸË¡
Anyway, it's a month gone and the beer tastes fine, if a bit weak and thin. Perfectly quaffable but not remarkable- fair dos for my first kit. But I'm worried if it's safe to drink. Should I be?
Should I rush out and replace the cap so I can inject the co2?
Thanks for your help brew bros
