Oh ok. That makes sense. I have already transfered it to the secondary. It should sit there for about 120 days. I wasnt planning on transfering it again, should I?

Also, does anyone know what the Camden tablets are, and what they do?

They are potassium or sodium metabisulfite. They prevent the yeast from reproducing.

not quite.
both can kill bacteria and stop some WILD yeasts from reproducing. wild yeasts are not as tolerant to sulfur as commercial yeasts are.
to stop commercial yeast from reproducing you need the 1-2 punch of camden and sorbate.
