I brewed a Belgian ale last weekend see recipe below:
BIAB
3.8 Gal batch
8 lbs 8.0 oz Pilsner
12.8 oz Pale Malt
6.4 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine
12.0 oz Sugar, Table
1.00 oz Styrian Goldings
1.25 oz Saaz
2.0 pkg Trappist High Gravity (Wyeast Labs #3787)
I step mashed (first time) and hit 1.082, cooled to 68F and pitched both packs of yeast (activated and fully expanded). Fermentation went crazy first 3-4 days, I almost needed a blow of tube. Bubbling stopped a few days ago so I checked my SG today and it is siting at 1.030. I was thinking I'd be down around 1.018.
Any thoughts? Should I pitch more yeast? I have a pack of S-04 sitting in my fridge. This is twice I've missed my FG this month. My hydrometer is reading correctly.
