So I've got a few batches under my belt. First batch had a perfect amout of carbonation. Next two both really struggled to carbonate. I just racked my current batch into my secondary, and the fermentation really dropped off.
Each of the last three batches I used the same procedure to transfer to my secondary. I only have one carboy, so I rack my beer to a sanitized plastic bucket, clean and sanitize the primary and rack back to the same carboy as my secondary.
Each time I rack, I siphon off the beer, and leave any sediment behind. So my question is am I loosing active yeast in the process? Should I allow some of the sediment to transfer over?
I just seems like each time I rack, the yeast activity drops off. Any thoughts?
