I have a Belgian ale that I pitched on the 10th (18 days ago). After six days the fermentation was barely going, and I racked it. Then it picked up again, and its been going slow and steady ever since. It slowed down a bit more today, but not much.
I'm planning on racking it again when it finally finishes. Is this within the realm of normal? There isn't anything too weird in this brew that would cause this, that I know of.
Here's a quick list of ingredients:
1# wheat DME, domestic red 2L
5.9# wheat/barley malt extract
3.5oz Cascade & Kent Goldings hops at various stages
.25oz Coriander Seeds
1oz Bitter Orange Peal
Belgian Golden Ale Yeast
(I can get more descriptive with the recipe if anyone's interested, not trying to be secretive, just lazy)
Any ideas? My honey ale that's been fermenting a week is farther along than this Belgian, strange.
