I was helping my father get into kegging instead of bottling last night. We transferred the beer from carboy to keg and one of his carboys had condensation in the top on the glass above the beer. Neither of us had ever seen that before. Does it mean there is something wrong? Or what could have caused the condensation?
 
It's caused by a very slight temperature gradient between the carboy's glass and the water vapor in the headspace. It won't impact anything. :mug:

Thanks MalFet. I figured it was nothing, but it is better to have an answer than to guess. I appreciate it.:rockin:
