I brewed Pliny the Elder Clone last Thursday and it is still fermenting vigorously. The carboy is still churning away. Anyway, after five days, the blow-off tube is still bubbling at 1-2 second intervals. The reason it is doing so well is because I use a yeast starter that I ramped up 2 times over a 48 hr period. My OG on this batch was 1.079, so I am hoping for around 8.5% ABV. Is this normal for a Pliny clone?
