Boy am I glad this forum is here...
Anyways, I have a question about what happened last night. I was bottling with my friend (he was pouring sugar while I poured beer), and when we finished, I looked inside the bucket, and there was a bunch of stuff on the bottom. I'm not sure what it was, but it kinda looked like mud, and when I shook the remains of the bucket up with the stuff, it looked like coffee with a lot of milk in it. What is this stuff?
Also, on actually bottling the beer, I put the sugar in, and gave it a little swirl like a seesaw. It foamed up fairly good at first, but then didn't really seem to do anything after that (about an hour or so time). Is it like primary fermentation, and takes a bit of time to really get started? Or was that junk in the bottom of the bucket something that I needed in the bottles?
Hopefully nothing is screwed up...
