So I'm a relatively new home brewer and Friday I did my first secondary fermentation transfer.
I had a couple of concerns. First of all my brew seemed to have a lot more activity early and then die out very fast. Within 12 hours it was bubbling extremely rapidly and by day 3 I had almost no visual activity. Is this something I should be concerned about. I just feel like I usually have a much longer period of primary fermentation.
Once I transferred to the secondary I had a small amount of activity for a couple more days. There are no bacteria that I can see and my taste test went ok.
