So I have a Belgian Quad kit coming from William's Brewing. I haven't had any issues with lag time with any of my previous beers, one of them being a Belgian Triple which was 1.076. I get visible fermentation in 4-6 hours. I had been aerating just from vigorous shaking of the bucket/carboy. I had been having some issues with my a few of my beers finishing high though. I'd say 5 points or so.
After some reading I came to the conclusion that I may not be getting enough aeration so I went ahead and added an oxygen aeration system into the cart and am excited to see the results. My question is, if I haven't been having significant lag times but have been having slightly higher finishing beers does aeration sound like it could still be the issue? I guess in short, are long lag times and high finishing gravities mutually inclusive?
