I have a belgian blonde that's been fermenting for 10 days now and I think it's done. In a few days when I have a chance I will rack it to secondary to age for a month. I wanted to check the gravity today and again in a few days to make sure its done. My OG was 1063 and the expected FG is 1013-1017, my reading came in at 1009 +1 for temperature correction so 1010. So the yeast went to town for sure, I did use a starter for my first time.
Is this what I should expect when I make yeast starters? Did I pitch too much yeast? It was Belgian 3787 high gravity yeast. I did use a pound of corn sugar in the recipe, would this make it drier and ferment more? The beer tastes great for it being green. Thanks!
