I am confused by my last belgian batch. I realized I underpitched (because I did not make a starter) so I made a starter and pitched a about a day and a half later. The mix has been kept around 74 degrees and the temperature never sharply rose (like a previous batch I made). There was also never a noticeable offgassing through the airlock.
One thing I have now learned is that I need to oxygenate these high gravity brews, which I did not do for this batch.
Facts leading to my confusion:
The OG was 1.06 - 1.07, FG (current) is 1.005.
I took the "liquid" for the FG from the top. Is it possible that if I mixed it up, then I would measure the gravity as the same as the OG? (meaning that all of the particulate sunk to the bottom?)
Furthermore, when I took off the lid to take liquid I did notice air bubbles coming to the top.
I am pretty sure there isnt a leak in the bucket or top.
Any feedback is appreciated because I am torn whether or not to junk this batch.
