I set out to brew a decent belgian and after 1 1/2 weeks my gravity is stuck at 1.030 (stable for three days, ABV ~9%). I have the fermenter at about 78 degrees and have been rocking it a couple times per day. I pitched 2 rehydrated packets of t-58, along with a smack pack of 3787.
Ingredients:
39% 6# 0 Northwestern Extra Light LME info 34 (points) 8 (SRM)
26% 4 0 Belgian Pils info 37 2
19% 3 0 Belgian Candi Syrup A info 36 40
13% 2 0 Belgian Candy Sugar Light info 36 0
2% 0 4 Smoked American Two-row info 34 5
2% 0 4 Belgian Special B info 30 220

Mash 60 minutes at 149, boil 75 minutes. I essentially remashed instead of sparging, turned it into a secondary boil, and added to primary boil. No "topping off" with plain water. 5 Gallon yield.

boil 60 mins 1.0 Target info pellet 8.4 (AA)
boil 15 mins 1.0 Hallertauer info leaf 4.8
boil 15 mins 1.0 Styrian Goldings info leaf 5.4

OG actual 1.100, FG predicted ~1.021, ABV ~10.9, SRM 21, IBU 24.4 :aaron
