I started a russian imperial stout a week ago. The original gravity was 1.087. I used White Labs San Deigo Super Yeast, which is supposed to be a very fast fermenting yeast, and did a 1.5L starter. I just checked the gravity and its around 1.033. I'm thinking this might be a bit high. What do you guys think? Is this low enough? I plan on leaving it in the primary for another week or two and then moving it to the secondary for at least 3-4 months. Should I do anything to get the gravity lower or should this be good enough?
On a side note, I drank the sample and I think it might be really good when its finished. The alcohol bite is a bit overwhelming right now but I'm hoping that will decrease over time. I'm really excited to try this one.
