I've been lurking on the forum for a while and brewed a few extract brews in preparation for my all-grain journey. Long story short, I brewed over the weekend a pale ale and transferred to my carboy once cooled, added the wyeast and it started bubbling nicely in less than 24 hours which gives me hope I'm doing it right. HOWEVER two things bother me:
1. as can (barely) be seen on the (lousy) photo there's quite some sediment at the bottom of my carboy. Obviously there will be even more once I cold crash in 10ish days time from now and obviously i will filter that through, but the question is if this is normal?
2. the fermentation activity seems to be stronger than what i thought. Its 20c so i am not worried about temp, but there's particles that roam the carboy as if they are alive. thats huge entertainment for my 6 year old who now understands that yeast is a live thing, but should it worry me?
thanks and if these are stupid questions, tell me they are stupid, but also please help me out
