Just for a reference for you. I make my starters to have an OG of ~ 1.050 and about a volume of 600 mL. I start them about 24 hours before I brew and shake often. My 10g batches have been fermenting out fully in 3 days +5 days to let the yeast do a little cleanup before I cold crash them. So 8...

Do you bottle or do you keg? If you are kegging you might not even be carbing correctly. But who knows so I wont assume that. But temperature has a dramatic effect on CO2 in solution, as does the volume of CO2 in solution to begin with. I think what you might be observing is the different...

Just wondering, how is your aeration? Do you use yeast nutrient at all? I brewed a belgian with an OG of 1.128 and it went down to 1.010 in 5 days. We made a 1 qt starter with one smack pack of WLP500. Fermentation took off in just 3 hours. After 2 days we threw in two spoon fulls (very...
