I just racked off into a cube and I have a few questions...
The cube seems bigger than 20L, hence I have a small amount of headspace in it (air) I would have liked to have avoided it, but its there now. Will this small amount (about half a litre) spoil my beer?
The beer was slowly bubbling, I have just the cap just cracked, judging that it would purge co2 if the pressure gets to great, I think it is sealed enough not to let in air, it is on just slightly firm.
I am hoping that seeing the co2 is still coming out (very slowly) the air will not be a problem.
I will check it every night, and if needed crack the lid to let gas out.
Do you guys think its a recipe for disaster?
Oh by the way, its not a bad brew, Brewcraft Cold with the included yeast (I would have liked a better yeast, but I had none at the time.)
