We just transferred our fermented wort into our 2nd fermentation tank after 8 days. We had 5 Ga at the beginning of the first fermentation and we pitch 2 packs of FERMENTIS SAFBREW S 33. Prior to that, we transferred the wort from the boiling pot to the 1st fermentator in taking care of bringing oxygen in the wort. After 8 days, there was ~1,5 inch of yeast in the bottom of the fermentor. We took the final gravity during the transfer and it was 1.038. We had 1.071 after the boiling.
Is everything normal? We target a beer with 8-9% alc/vol, is it possible? Did we put to much yeast? Not enough oxygen?
Also, once our transfer was finished, there were bubbles in wort that we didnt transferred in the 2nd fermentor. What does it mean?
thank you guys!
