I made a Belgian Strong 11 days ago. The OG was 1068 at pitch (4.5 gal of wart with a 1 gal starter). I kept the water in my swamp cooler around 62 F for two days. On the third day I added 1.75 lbs of cane sugar dissolved in water. I kept it at 62 F for another four days and then gradually raised it up to 73 where it sits today.
Yesterday the gravity was 1054 and today it's 1052. Should I do anything to speed it up a bit? I'm thinking of warming it, adding some nutrients or RDWHAHB.
I know Belgians can be slow but this seems a little excessive.
