I just started my first Scotch Ale, OG is 1.108 (target was 1.105) using WLP028 pitched at 70 degrees, fermentation was robust started in about 8 - 10 yours, temperature is controlled virtue of a water bath at 64 - 66 degrees and does not seem to be in any hurry to rest after 5 days.
My question is this, my intent is to let it go for another 5 days, check the SG, (target is 1.029) and let the temperature rise to 68 - 70 degrees the final few days of fermenting of this beast. I am not familiar with high gravity ales and particularly this style of Ale which I understand requires longer fermentation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
