I brewed a GF beer for my wife about 10 days ago - steeped GF oats, sorghum syrup (briess), D-45, buckwheat honey, maltodextrin, rice solids and lots of hops. 5 Gallon batch with an OG of 1.064 so I pitched two packets of US-05. It's been parked in my closet at around 65 degrees. Here's the thing...it's been 10 days, and it's still active. Two days ago it was still at 6-7 bubbles per minute, today it's down to 1-2 per minute. I've brewed a lot of ales, but never one that took this long (except a saison...but 3724 is finicky).
I'm not worried about the beer, it'll be done when it's good and ready to be done - but has anyone else had this long of a fermentation with a GF beer? Is it the complex sugars in the honey/malto/d-45 that cause it to take so long?
Anyway
