Another Wherry question

Just a quick question about my latest brew....a Woodfordes Wherry.

I've noticed that most people have struggled to ferment this out. I used a Gervin Enlish Ale Yeast when I set this going on Saturday. The OG was 1044, and I've just measured the SG and its 1014 after only 2 days !!

Has anyone else experinced this ?

Cheers Fivetide/Daab,

I also found that the Wherry smells a little different to the other brews I've made...not unplesant as such just different.

I'll check the SG again tomorrow and if its the same then I'll add the 25g East Kent Goldings. It it better to transfer to a secondary for the dry hopping or just add it to the primary fermenter ?

DaaB - what can happen if you dry-hop to long.

Not that I've ever had such an occurence

Some people may say that you get a grassy taste if the hops are left in to long,others will say you need to leave the hops in for longer and the grassy taste will slowly disappear.
Personal choice is the answer.
