I let the brew sit in the secondary for two weeks. It didn't separate completely. There seemed to be three layers. Most of the heavier lighter colored material sank to the bottom. The top was nearly clear and the darkest color. The middle had a yellowish color. I hadn't seen that before.
The top clear liquid had a wonderful hoppy flavor, while the middle had a lingering aftertaste that I cannot place.
Carbonating sugars:
1/4 barley malt syrup (lot this stuff)
2 cups water
Pour (that's a figure of speech) the syrup into the water and let it liquify. Pour the mixture into the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket. Transfer beer from secondary back to the primary to allow good mixing.
Then elevate the 5 gallon bucket and siphon the beer into bottles of any size.
This made 44 12oz beers, and should be ready by Yule...keeping fingers crossed.
