Hello, I'm having some trouble brewing this extract recipe kit: https://www.northernbrewer.com/products/saison-de-noel-limited-edition-extract-kit
This is not my first time brewing this kit. The first time (also my first ever homebrew) we used wyeast 3711, and after 2 weeks our gravity reading came out to 1.006 (OG was 1.070). We waited 2 more weeks after that and the gravity got down to 1.001. This time around using the same yeast, after 2 weeks our gravity reading is quite a bit higher at 1.012, with nearly the exact same brewing conditions. We followed the recipe nearly the same (but kept our boil to just 30 minutes rather than 60 as we prefer a less hoppy beer) but our results so far aren't what we were expecting. I guess we should just let it sit a few extra weeks? Could the reduced boil time be causing this?
