    Yeah, thanks guys, I was just worried for nothing, it's already cleared up a lot over-night.

    Quick update and question. I transferred it from the primary bucket to the glass carboy today, it was crystal clear, but now it's really misty again. I did siphon a very small amount of sediment up by accident right at the end, but not enough to make the whole thing cloudy. Is this normal?

    Okay, I'll leave it a couple of days. My finnings haven't been delivered yet anyway, so was going to wait for that before I rack it to secondary. I'll take another reading in 2 days.

    It's been around a week since the airlock stopped bubbling, I made this thread exactly a week ago, so yeah, around that. Do I skim the bubbles off the surface before I siphon it over to the carboy? Seems like the logical thing to do. I haven't tasted it yet, but will have a sip in a minute.

    Thanks for the reply. If somebody asked me what it smelled like and I didn't know what it was, I'd be convinced it was white wine. That's what it smells like to me. I don't sense any off smells or eggy smells.
