This is an Aussie Light Ale Kit from Midwest and my first brew. I followed the directions except I added a pound of honey and irish moss during the last 15 mins of the boil. I put in a plastic primary and it fermented for 10 days. I then racked into a 5-gallon carboy. It smelled great when I racked it. Original SG was around 1.045 and the SG when I racked was 1.006. During the boil the Nylon bag that I had the hops in broke and 90% of the hops went into the wort, therefore they went into the fermenter.
I have two questions. It has been two days since I racked and the color looks alot darker than the golden color the Aussie light ale is supposed to be. Will it lighten up within the week?
If you look at the third picture, I used a light so you can see the particles that are floating in the beer. They look like bite size pieces of a really thick yest cake. They also look disgusting like throw up... There are a lot more than the picture shows. I don't know if it is the co2 or if they are less dense than beer, but they float up to the top then drop down and the float back up to the top. Will they ever settle to the bottom? Should I be worried? They were in the fermenter when I racked and they went right into the secondary through the siphon. There was a large amount of sediment that I racked off of. I have a picture of that two, if anyone needs to see it.
The first pic is right after I racked, and the second pic is 2 days after racking, the third is with a light 2 days after racking. Thanks for any help in advance!
