Hey all,
Well I racked my first batch a few weeks ago. I had a very difficult time getting the siphon going... it stopped midway. For the life of me, I couldn't get it going again. So frustrated, I did a no-no. I used a funel and a filter and poured the rest in (leaving behind as much sediment as I could). This of course incorporated oxygen because the must was now splashing into the new carboy. To make matters worse, these new items (the funel and filter) were clean but not sanitized. :doh: I know... I know... my bad :doh: So I come to my question: Did I ruin the batch? I would hate to find out in 6 months from now that it was ruined all along. How long before I know if it was ruined , or should I just dump the whole thing and start again.
Thanks y'all
