I'm very new to the hobby, and this is my second brew. I purchased and brewed a canned malt wheat brew. When I pitched the yeast, the head rose nearly to the top, and then dropped after several days. After about a week, the airlock bubbled once a minute - so as per instructions, I racked it into the secondary. Instructions were very specific not to areate the wort. While the fermented wort was being transferred (being careful not to splash, etc... I noticed small air bubbles in the line. I thought I had pushed all the air out when I siphoned, so I cleared the line again. After several minutes I noticed more small bubbles - as if the agitation of the wort was causing a release of CO2. These small amount of bubbles were impossible to prevent. I am worried that the brew is screwed now. My secondary fermenter is not very active. Could someone tell me if this is normal? I also have the fermenter in my bathroom tub, where tempatures are pretty cool at night.... if that has any effect.
