Fermenting Advice

[Petho]

Guys,

I brewed an amber ale:
1# 2 Row Pale Malt
.5# Crystal 40
.5# Carapils
6# Muntons Pale DME
7.5# LME

1oz Cascade Hops 60min
1oz Saaz Hops 15 min

WLP 007 English Ale

This batch has been fermenting since March 28, it had a vigorous blow off requiring a blowoff tube. The primary still has very mild air lock activity.
I measured the Gravity tonight and it is still at .038, I neglected to measure the SG so I am bit screwed.
This is the most agressive brew that I have tried, is this slow fermentation normal? My average brew finnishes in 3 weeks.
Shall I let it stay in primary unitl it is done? Should I move it to secondary?
I do not normally use a secondary ferment but I am wondering if this brew will require it.

Thanks

Well, that is a BIG beer! You had an OG in the neighborhood of 1.110 or so. You way underhopped, with only one ounce of bittering (and low AAU) hops.

It's probably about done, but I'd expect more like 1.026 or so if you used a nice yeast starter. If you didn't use a yeast starter, or pitch enough yeast, I'd say it's done.

You may have some carbonation issues, since the yeast is probably pooped out. You may want to try making another beer, and then siphoning this beer to that yeast cake, just to see if you can bring down the gravity a bit, and/or have enough yeast life left to carbonate this beer.

Why the DME and LME? That's a very unusual recipe, leaving you with very little hops to balance it. I would have though that either the DME or the LME would have been used, not both.

I think I was suposed to use Either the DME or the LME.
