Does this sound right or did I screw up?

I just kegged a 5 gallon batch of dark Belgian Ale that had been in the primary since 1-15-12. Original SG 1.104, 1.054 when racked today. I usually force carb my kegs, but thought this time I would naturally carb. I racked it into the corny and added 1/3 cup of boiled cane sugar.

I sealed the lid at 30 psi, purged the o2 then dropped it down to 5 psi and plan on letting it set for (maybe) 4 weeks or longer if needed.

Does this sound right?

Thank you for any advice.

I did use the search function, but sometimes it's still difficult to get a def answer.
 
If it finished at 1.054 it's going to be a syrupy thick beer. Most of my beers start with an OG lower than that. Either the beer had a lot of unfermentables, the yeast used wasn't pitched in a high enough quantity/wasn't in a healthy enough shape or the hydrometer isn't reading the FG right.
 
Thanks, Swampass. I appreciate the reply.

Not what I wanted to hear, but...............I'll drink it anyway:rockin:

I like thick beer, but not sure if I like surupy thick beer.:confused:
