Secondary Fermintation

[chase1129]

Just put our batch in the secondary carboy after 5 days of being in original bucket.

It's not called secondary fermentation, just simply secondary. Fermentation should have fully completed before you transfer to secondary, hence there would be no actual fermentation taking place there.

Otherwise congrats!

Before you brew another batch, read up on at least some of the multitude of threads going over the long primary vs use of secondary. Even the founding fathers of home brewing have updated their process to go for long primaries except under certain conditions (where it actually is of solid benefit to the brew, which reduces racking to another vessel to very few cases).

A great many of us don't rack unless it's to put the brew onto a flavor element that works better that way. I've been dry hopping in primary with EXCELLENT results, and plan to continue to do so. I will rack to age on oak, and such, but that's about it these days...

Read up, your brew will thank you by becoming even better (and making less work for you)...
