Greetings all, somewhat new brewer on about my eighth batch, my second using a glass secondary. This batch has quite a few floaty's that swim up and down and appear to be clearing my beer immaculately. Is this the cleanup process that I've read so much about?
My first batch using a secondary was a bit darker and this wasn't as noticeable. This batch is a cream ale and it is really crystal clear on top and hazy the lower it goes. I have about 10" of cloudy beer at the bottom of a 5 gallon carboy, the rest presents a crystal clear golden body. It was a healthy seven-day primary fermentation and all gravities checked out fine.
If this is the cleanup process, do I just wait it out until all the Swimmers die down and drop to the bottom prior to bottling? It's been 10 days since the secondary transfer and the swimmers are still very active.
Thanks for any advice that helps clarify this situation ...
