The other week I brewed a dark ale. I steeped 4lbs of specialty grains (a mix of choc malt, carapils, and light munich) and used 5lbs of DME. Steeped for 45 mins @165 F, boiled for 60 mins, hopped at 60, 20,10,and knockout. Cooled and pitched Belgium Ale yeast. IG of 1.050. Fermentation started in 6.5 hrs and was very strong for 3 days, and then stopped. I left it in the primary for 8 days and transfered to secondary. When I x-fered the gravity was only a 1.033. It has been in the secondary now for 5 days and the gravity is only a 1.031. Is this all I am going to get? Should I try to re-pitch more yeast?
