    Brewing a belgian. Over a week and have hit F.G but still have big krausen and yeast is not settling out. Wait it out? O.G 1070.
    Should add that I made a 1 liter starter of wlp550. Did I under pitch.

    I would wait it out a bit longer.

    If you do not want to wait it out, and you have hit your FG, then you can always rack from under the krausen.

    I edited my post. I think I give it more time as there's still to much yeast in suspension to rack. Was just wondering if I under pitched and should add more yeast to finish?

    What size batch?

    I just read a tip on that strain. Raise the temp to ~75 F for the final week.

    7 Gal. Maybe I'll try warming her up a bit.
