So I made a first time attempt at adding a second yeast strain to the secondary just after I racked it for an Orval clone; it was racked about about week 3. While it appeared (I did not take gravity measurements) that after I racked it from primary to secondary to not be "visually" bubbling, I realize there was still likely some sugar that needed to be converted.
One thing I noted was that there is already, at about 1 week after the rack into the secondary, a pretty decent amount of sediment at the bottom of the carboy.
My questions are:
(1) Is it typical to get quite a bit of sediment with a second yeast strain? I would assume this is more a reflection of sugars still undergoing fermentation that yeast strain.
(2) Would there be any benefit in another rack into a tertiary carboy, and if so, when? I don't want autolysis, but I also am doing some dry hopping (put the pellets directly into the solution, not a bag), and don't want to miss out on the those flavors.
Thanks for the help.
