I recently brewed Founders KBS clone with Omega Hornindale. I overshot my OG by quite a bit due to a low assumed mash effeciency (this is my first high gravity beer, I assumed 60, got 75ish...) and ended up with 1.123 OG. I added a 1.7L starter of Horninale and the thing took off unlike anything I've ever seen before. After about 24 hours, the activity very suddenly stopped. I panicked and was sure I had a stuck fermentation. However, a gravity measurement showed 1.024. So it was done after just after just 24 hours!
I tasted it and it did not taste very good. I have some research on aging I intend to do, and will likely be aging this beer 4 or 5 months.
However, I am wondering if this very fast fermentation may have resulted in issues I should be aware of and try and counteract with additions in secondary or specific aging methods?
