That is exactly how my batch looked before racking. 5 gal motts, 1lb dk brn sugar, 1 lb lt brn sugar, 12oz honey, s-04. I poured another batch on top of that stuff and now most of it stayed on the top of the second batch.

Are you sure it's not a lot of sediment, but rather because the picture is frickin huge??  That amount of sediment is normal.

Normal as EvilToJ said. Apples have A LOT of particulates that fall out of the juice.

Agreed. I've got a cyser (apple cider + honey) on the go right now, and the first racking, I always have to sacrifice a few liters to not suck up the pile accumulated on bottom. It's normal.

so with the montrachet yeast it wasnt necessary to rack to a secondary. Im thinking i probably should with this batch though? should i just wait till there isnt very much action then rack it then take a hydro reading?

So its been in a secondary for like 4 days now. It was at 1.05 when i racked it so i put 5 campden tablets in it. It hasnt shown any signs of clearing. How long do you guys think it will take? The juice I used has cleared well for me in the past, it did take a while though, plus i used dark brown sugar this time
Edit: 1.005

If it's still at 1.050, it's a LONG way from done. Are you sure about the reading?
