I used my carboy for the first time last night. Made my 1st IPA, and pitched a vile of WhiteLabs California Ale yeast around 8:30PM
Not too long after pitching (@ an hour and a half), and still this morning, there is what looks like a 3/4" - 1" layer of yeast on the bottom of the carboy. Is that supposed to happen? I mean, it's certainly much more yeast than I pitched in from the vile; are they just multiplying?
There was no action from the blowoff tube yet either, and I couldn't see anything visibly moving around in the carboy like we've all come to know and love.
Since I've only been using 6.5g ale pails, I've never had a chance to see what happens in the buckets before the airlock begins bubbling. Is what I've described above normal?
