Started the kit last Wednesday and transferred into secondary this morning. Has been happily bubbling away since last Thursday morning and when I checked last night, I had a gravity at 1.002, so it was ready to rack.
As I racked, I found that the liquid was still extremely cloudy and there was only maybe a total of about a cup of yeast and sediment at the bottom of the primary. Is this normal? I only ask because the yeast cake on the bottom of my beer batches would easily fill 4 or 5 cups (about 1/2" thick or more across the whole bottom)
I'm supposed to let it sit for 10 more days now to clear some and finish fermenting. Within 5 minutes of racking to the secondary it was bubbling around in the airlock.
Last question - Do the clarifiers that they make you mix in really clear the "wine" so much that all the cloudyness completely disappears?
I just want to make sure nothing abnormal happened.
