Hello,
I have recently rediscovered home brew beer. I last did it years ago and never got much beyond kits but did advance to crown bottle caps, printed labels and some experiemts with fermenting apple juice.
I have just brewed a very successful Caxtons Dark Ale kit in a simple 30L plastic fermenter with tap and then bottled to recyled supermarket 2L plastic bottles. Now I've some dark stout on the go and in a fit of enthusiasm have ordered a second 30L bucket so I can increase 'production'. Becuase of kitchen arrangements I'll need to have the second brew behind the first bucket and then, once the first is bottled, move the second bucket across the table at some point so the tap is in a convenient place for bottling and then repeat. I hope that makes sense.
My question is, will it matter much if I move a formenting bucket across a table, no doubt sloshing the contents inside, washing some of the residure from the side of the bucket in to the brew?
Thank you.
