I just switched over to all-grain, but i've been extract brewing for 3 or 4 years. I've brewed 6 batches of all-grain now and I've noticed that it seems to be taking longer to complete the fermentation process. Using extract usually took anywhere from 7 to 10 days give or take. With my all-grain batches 4 out of the 5 have taken 3-1/2 weeks so far and they're still going. I haven't taken a gravity yet on any of them as I usually like to wait til I think they're done to minimize any possible exposure to any nasties. Has anyone else experienced this? FYI the beers are Belgian White, Belgian Tripel, Apple Ale, and a Heffe.
