I have a honey cream ale in primary since 6/30. There was roughly one lb of honey added to the end of the boil. The OG was 1.053 and it is still bubbling away. I took a reading on 7/13 and it was 1.016. Today it was 1.011.
The ferm temp was held to 64 degrees until this Sunday, I moved it out to make room for a new batch. It is currently sitting at around 76-78.
What can I expect my final gravity to be? How long should this take? I've heard honey is supposed to be painfully slow. And I have also heard that fermentations that keep on going and get to a low FG can be infections. There didn't appear to be anything funny going on in the bucket when I took the sample, and the sample didn't have any really usual flavors either. Any suggestions?
