Hey guys! New to the forum and to brewing. My first batch was a... frankenbeer that turned out pretty good, in the secondary now I have a 2 <3'd clone.
This was my first time racking to a secondary and all I paid attention to was the taste (pretty good i guess) and the hydrometer reading which hit .018, right on the nose
However after I started reading some other posts brewers were talking about waiting til the krausen settles... Some was left behind in the primary but after a couple days resurfaced in the secondary.
It has now settled out, I assume this and the good taste mean it probably wasn't an infection? Would not waiting for it to settle effect the taste? I saw someone said that it may drag hop oils to the bottom when dry hopping? Thanks and cheers!
