I'm doing a Belgian pumpkin ale with 3522. Pitched the yeast on 10/4 and it's still going with regular (every 4 seconds) airlock activity and visible yeast activity in the carboy. That's 10 days! OG 1.066 started fermentation at 68· and ramped up to 72· over 3 days. Is this normal?
Wyeast 3522 looong fermentation?

Yup. Belgian strains go forever. I did a saison with 3711 that was still bubbling at the two month mark.

Belgian yeasts can go on for a long time. Sit back and let the yeast do what it has been doing since the beginning of time. It will finish.
