Brewed a breakfast-y stout three days ago. 2.5 pounds of grain (a one gallon batch) plus a quarter pound of brown sugar at flameout. Original gravity was 1.061.
Fermenting with about 1/3 a vial of WLP545 (Belgian Strong). Three days later the Brix is 8, which according to my calculations puts the current gravity somewhere around 1.015. This is only a few points off target, much quicker than any other batch I've brewed. Should I be nervous? Worried? Excited? Can I just bottle it?
Also, this is the first batch I've used yeast nutrient on (just one teaspoon) - is this the reason for my (apparent) success?
Trying to be cautiously optimistic but also don't want to get too excited about something that could be bad. Thoughts?
