I recently purchased a nice glass carboy to use as a secondary, so I can get my brews off the trub and leave them to age and clear for a while.
So two days ago I transferred my pale ale to my new secondary, leaving the thick layer of sludge in my primary. But lo! after an hour or so, there was about a centimetre (1/2 inch) of sediment on the bottom of my secondary.
Is this normal? The gravity was down to 1020 (anticipated FG ~1015), and the airlock was only bubbling about once a minute, so I thought it was a good time to transfer...
