I'm on the tail end of primary fermentation and am trying to get the last few points of the gravity before racking by gently rousing the yeast. I noticed what feels like a hard mass right in the center of the bottom of the fermenter - glass, 6.5g. Rock hard. I used Safale US-05 and dry hopped with Galaxy and El Dorado. Has anyone experienced this?

Dumb suggestion, but my glass carboys have a hump in the bottom, could that be it?

I dunno where the OP lives, but I reckon he'd need an awful long siphon to be feeling the humps in the bottom of your carboys!

most carboys have a punt in the bottom. i guarantee that is what this is unless at some point you dropped rocks in your beer
