I brewed my first high gravity beer yesterday. It is a Belgium dark strong ale with an OG of 1.113 and a target FG of 1.020. I made a 1 gallon yeast started and had it on the stip plate for 3 days. Prior to pitching I added pure O2 for two minuets. I know that with high gravity beers need more time, so my questions are.
1) How long should I leave it in the primary?
2) Should I put it in a secondary and if so how long?
3) If my FG is off can and should I pitch more yeast?
4) When I bottle do I need carbonation tabs or priming sugar since the FG is so high?
5) is there anything else I need to pay attention to?
