So, my last brew (my third brew) is a dunkelweisen OG 1.086. I under pitched as I learned here. I racked to secondary and gave it a taste after 12 days. The air lock had been producing nice banana smells...but it has slowed to almost no activity. Fermentation has been steady at 65. FG is 1.024. 8.2% So, the beer has a strong alcohol smell and doesn't taste so nice. I'm on the fence on whether or not conditioning and carbing will fix this or not. Any recommendations? Is this normal for a big beer at this stage of the game?
