Brewed this partial mash on Saturday, mashed the grains at 153, added the roasted malts after conversion, before sparge.

OG was 1.084. Pitched 2 packs of rehydrated LalBrew BRY97 to 65f wort. Slow start to fermentation, got good action by Sun night through Tues. Airlock moving about once a minute now which by day 4, usually means another 1-2 gravity points left to go. Took a gravity sample and reading 1.029. Was expecting more like 1.02. Using a hydrometer, degassed the sample, converted temp to 60f. Thinking I might pitch another pack of dry yeast. I don't keg so will go in bottles and trying to avoid gushers/bombs. Tastes great so don't want to lose the batch. This is highest gravity beer I've done so not sure what to expect. Any recommendations?
