I had bought some WLP 530 on closeout from Johnson's and finally decided to use it a few weeks back so after a bit of planning I made a starter beer planning on trying a big beer, a whole 5 gal batch with the yeast (6 mo. out of date) and it worked. I I used 8 lb pilsner 1 lb wheat 1 lb oats 1lb corn sugar in the starter beer. I got 1.054 for OG and 1.009 FG(brewers friend said FG of 1.014) ANYWAY, I poured the big beer right onto the guts of the smaller one and within 5 days went from 1.123 to 1.040. now after 6 in primary and 5 in secondary it seems I've stabilized at 1.034 (brewers friend said 1.030) I'll try posting the recipe below.
The question I have is with the FG that high do you still put priming sugar in it? Or just bottle and wait a few months?
Note: the recipe called for 16 pounds of Pilsner malt but my first try at a mash tun was an epic fail so I added cane sugar to bring up the OG. otherwise its as posted.
