I'm down to 1.004 after 3 weeks, still bubbling slowly!
Recipe: (5.5 gal)
5 lb belgian pale malt
2 lb flaked oats
2 lb honey
1 lb wheat malt
3.3 lb LME
I mashed 90 minutes at 147-149 (stovetop BIAB)
1 oz magnum for a 90 minute boil and pitched on a cake of WLP 400 belgian wit.
My OG was 1.067 and I'm now down to 1.004, fermentation started REALLY strong, blew the top off the bucket so i went to a blowoff tube. 3 weeks later there is still a small krausen and some slow airlock activity.
Anyway, should the long, low mash temp along with the honey make it dry out this much and ferment so long? I was worried it got infected when the lid blew off but my gravity sample tasted fine, just green, yeasty, thin and alcoholic.
(don't worry I'm not gonna dump it and I'll crack the first homebrew at noon)
