alright so I just finished what seemed like a relatively successful first atempt at all grain. I was going for something like deshutes brewery hop trip beer. I used a wort chiller for the first time chilled the batch in about 17 minutes which I know can improve, but it beats 35 minutes without one. going from my kettle into the primary bucket I just filtered through a strainer,shook it a bit to aerate and then dumped the yeast and stuck it in the corner. So the question is ....... about 5 minutes later I came to check out the temp and noticed that about an inch layer of sediment had already formed at the bottom. I can't tell for sure whats going on down there because it's in a bucket and I can't see it clearly, but there is for sure something down there......so is this supposed to happen so quickly ? I know that junk will fall out of suspension throughout the primary, but this just seems really quick to me. If this is not normal is it bad to let the wort sit on top of that stuff while it's fermenting. and I know i know RDHBWD i had quite a few already as may be evident in my spelling/grammar.
appreciate the help guys
