Well, I took a reading upon transfer from primary to secondary. The gravity was showing at 1.034. I added some more yeast for the secondary just to get anything that was still in there, but they don't seem to be doing a whole lot. I've probably gotten what I'm going to get, so we'll see what...

I know...but look at the recipe I put in earlier...I olny added a little over 11# of extract total! Weird! The yeast are loving it though...total blowoff
