Are you sure that it's not just krausen stuck to the walls of the carboy? This happens on every brew of mine, so even though the krausen has fallen it looks like it is still there.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I just transferred my BW into secondary after two weeks in primary. I have another question though. As I previously stated, my OG was lower than I had wanted, 1.074. Gravity when I put it in secondary today was 1.025. How much more can I expect this to...

I haven't brewed with it myself, but I've drank a couple Duck Rabbit Milk Stouts (brewed with lactose) over the last few days and it definitely imparts a sweetness to it that other stouts don't have. Take this for what it's worth.

So I don't need to worry about the vegetation that will still be in there?

Hi, first time poster! Anyhow, I've been lurking for awhile and I've done three batches now. I am going to rack my third batch to secondary today; it's a West Coast Pale Ale that was fermented with White Labs California Ale Yeast (WLP001) and used Warrior hops, centennial hops, and ahtanum...
