So I brewed a beer last year in late November and it is still fermenting.
It is a mad elf clone, sort of. I used raspberries and blackberries that I de-seeded manually - instead of cherries (oddly enough, it tastes almost the same as the original beer), and used about 4 lbs of honey for my 5g batch. I was unable to get a true OG because of the sugars from fruit but the grain and honey put the OG around 1.105. When I transferred to secondary, the drop in gravity put it at about 10% abv. That was like 2 months ago. The damn beer is still fermenting. I used Wyeast's "belgian strong" yeast. I can see tiny co2 bubbles moving up on all sides of the carboy, and there is still an occasional bubble in the airlock.
Question time. I am only going to use about 1/4 of the corn sugar in the bag that my LHBS sells and I am shooting for low carbonation. Can I / Should I bottle now, or just wait it out?
