Well, that's good to hear! A little follow up question: considering the high gravity when I racked to secondary, can the yeast still be somewhat active and lower it a bit more or is the secondary fermentation negligible?

Something happened after I racked my pale ale to secondary and I would like your opinion on what it is exactly. This is my first BIAB and the first time I used liquid yeast. I decided against doing a starter because I read that for lower gravity beer, it's not always necessary... and that...

Thanks!
