Hi,
I have a dark belgian strong ale that had an OG of 1.084 and I pitched the yeast starter 11 days ago. Fermentation took off within 8 hours and I can still see the yeast swimming happily and doing their thing. The initial fermentation was quite active and needed a blow off tube to direct the overflow. My question is, I have brewed other high gravity brews and they have all seemed to ferment out in 7-10 days completely. This belgian has slowed down but is still visibly active. I used a white labs belgian strong ale yeast. Is this typical of belgian yeast behavior?
Thanks,
Shawn
