This is my first batch.
Last night I transferred my beer from primary fermenter (bucket) to secondary (glass carboy).
As the carboy was getting filled closer and closer to the top with my future beer I knew it wouldn't all fit. There was about 3/4 inch of beer on the bottom of the bucket that didn't make it.
I also noticed there was a lot of yeast in this section.
Is it bad that I didn't get the last yeasty part? I know some yeast is required for carbonation. I hope there's enough in there.
Other than that everything else went fine. This was the first time I siphoned anything and I was proud of myself.
I will admit, I enjoyed the taste of the beer in my mouth as I got the siphon going. I could feel the alcohol, if you know what I mean. It's pretty light too.
Thanks for all your help fellow brewers.
