Well that was experience.....even after a dry run practicing in garage.
Bottled my NB Bavarian Hefe last evening. Did 2.5 gal bottle and left 2.5 gal in primary to make the lemon lime hefe. She is bubbling away this morning.
Will learn as I go to make things simpler. Smelled good but flavor really had those esters hope it calms down a bit with carb and chilling. Turned out darker and higher alch% than I expected. I am thinking the Hefes I had in the past were mislabeled maybe....
One question. When I was auto siphoning and bottling with the wand, it seemed very aggressive flow in the tubing and causing bubbles. Is that normal? Is that going to create the 'oxygenation' I am trying to avoid. The exit of the beer from the tube into bottling bucket was fine but it was the sucking/flow of the liquid in the tube. Any concerns there?
