I just bottled my second batch (Midwest's Autumn Amber ale). My first batch was Midwest's Liberty Cream ale, I used US-05 yeast for both batches and I used irish moss on both batches with 15 minutes left in the boil. when racking to the bottling bucket on both batches, I left close to a gallon in the fermenter because I was picking up so much sediment.
When I first opened the lid on the fermenter there were floating "yeast balls" and they were chasing my auto siphon dying to get into the bottling bucket. When I got down to the last gallon, I started racking gunk into the bucket, so I stopped. This batch was in the primary for exactly 3 weeks.
Is it normal to have so much waste, or am I missing something?
Liberty Cream Ale. Sorry spilled a little.
