Ive searched the forums for a similar question and couldnt find it, so forgive me if this has been addressed somewhere else already.
Ive made several batches of beer and they usually turn out pretty good. I use the amber ale recipe in the Brew Master's Bible. This recipe calls for an American Ale Wyeast but the liquor store was out and I used a British Ale II instead. Anyway, the wort seemed great and I pitched with a starting gravity of 1.091! This seems pretty high especially since I usually have a reading of about 1.05 or so.
Is this normal? This is the 3rd day of primary and its bubbling quite well and I even had to deal with some foam overflow. But it smells great and looks very good. Should I let it ferment longer than usual? Should I add something? I'm afraid I will end up with a very strong ale.
Any advice would be welcome! This is my first posts, so hopefully I didnt make any faux pas in posting.
