Duvel Finished Fermenting Already?

Ok, Its been 2 days since I pitched in the second packet of dry yeast (pilsner kit yeast). Fermenter showed signs of pressure today but no real bubbling. With all that air now trapped  inside the fermenter it probably did expel CO2 but needed time to fill air gap again and build pressure. Took gravity reading and got quite a shock, 1012!! 😀 That is good news. Seems it has gone all the way in a lot faster than it should probably due to the high temperature (might pay for that in the form of off flavors…).

OG: 1050, FG: 1012 in 4 days. woha!

Roughly an abv of 5.5% (give or take a few temp variables etc). Sample from hydrometer tastes quite nice actually. Bit of a honey taste to it (not too much) but still tastes very young with lots of small bubbles in the sample. Gonna leave it to “age” a bit and clear up. It will cool down from the 23deg to about 16deg over the next few days. Will try and leave it for at least another week or so. Leaving it in the primary after fermentation stopped worked very well for the coopers ale.
