Ok, I brewed a Belgian Blonde ale 2 weeks. I made a 2 L starter of the Wyeast Trappist Ale yeast. I overshot my OG because somehow I got about 15-20% better efficiency in my rig this time (OG was 1.089 when I was aiming for 1.076).
The yeast kicked right in and within a couple hours, I had bubbling in my airlock.
It is coming up on 14 days and I still have vigorous bubbling in the airlock. I have not opened my fermenter to check the current OG as I use an Ale Pale, and it is a PIA to take the damn lid off without contaminating it.
Does this sound right for this beer to ferment this long due to the high OG?
I have never brewed with this yeast strain before.
