After a week of moving my primary over to a secondary carboy, there is no more visible fermenting. The final gravity is where it should be, but I know that the blowoff tube is to control the fermenting. I realize I lost a lot of yeast at the bottom of the primary bucket, and what is now in the carboy will settle to the bottom. Should I expect ferment at this point? I will still do it to have cleaner beer, i was just curious about the fermenting part of it.
on a side note: I did see some small pieces (i'm guessing was hop pellet pieces) in the carboy that were falling slowly, and some rising slowly. But, again, no krausen or bubbling, or other signs of fermenting. (I eventually replaced the blowoff tube with the stopper and airlock. Was this hop movement a sign of fermenting?
