Morning All
I have a quick question. I have just bottled my first batch of Noble Grape Blonde Lager. What I noticed was when taking the mix from the bucket to the Carboy there was sediment in the bottom of the bucket. Also when taking from the Carboy to bottles there was also sediment in the bottom of the Carboy. Is this normal? I am assuming and hoping the sediment is waste.
Regards

Not sure of the recipe but the bucket is yeast/hops/smutz from your boil. The carboy is mostly yeast and whatever you stirred up from the bucket.
Normal is an under statement. Wait till you dry hop something and have to clean the hops from your carboy.

That is a festabrew, so that would just be yeast.

is it a festa, or a NG kit?
did your racking cane hit the sed at the bottom?

Yes this is normal. The sediment will also be present in your bottles once they carbonate. It is yeast dropping out of suspension and is a nesseary and perfectly natural part of the process.

No my Racking Cane did not hit or touch the bottom. I made sure to be careful of that. The instructions where clear on what to do but not what to expect throughout the process.
Thanks
