hey all,
just bottled an IPA with a friend yesterday. everything went as planned, and as of today there seems to be a normal amount of sediment sitting at the bottom of the bottles. i've had 3 successful batches thus far, so the resting sediment doesn't worry me.
my question for you all is, should yeast or sediment be rising/shooting to the top during bottle conditioning? i've never noticed it until this batch, but when putting a flashlight to the bottle and watching for a few seconds, there are obvious little pieces of trub shooting from the sediment cake up to the top.
for reference;
brewed an IPA (15 days @ 62*) US-05
OG - 1.051
FG - 1.010
bottled just under 5 gallons of beer using a solution of a little under half a cup of honey and 2 cups of water.
my fear is that i bottled too early and fermentation is still occuring. being a newbie and freaking out, i chilled a bottle for 20 minutes and opened it to see if i had a batch of bottle bombs brewing. there was minimal carbonation, but i figured i'd check with you guys (the experts)
