Yesterday I moved a batch of a Belgian Quad from primary to secondary. I was hasty in moving it and didn't check the gravity until I had it moved to secondary and had cleaned out the primary bucket. Big mistake because as an after thought I took a sample from the secondary and found it to be 1.038. Here are some specifics: This is an extract recipe with an OG=1.10 with an expected FG=1.02. The yeast used was Wyeast Trappist 3787 which should be a good for high gravity. So given the OG I'm over 8% ABV but there's still way too much sugar left and I'm concerned it will be too sweet or I'll end up with bottle bombs. As mentioned this should get to 1.02 (actually just slightly lower) and an ABV over 10%.
What are my options?
Leave it in secondary and see what happends? I wouldn't think it wouldn't come down much more now.
Move back to primary and repitch?
Lesson learned to not rush things and ALWAYS check the gravity before moving but given where I am now I could you some help and suggestions.
Thanks
