I made recipe and had an OG of 1.054...  The fermentation started the next morning and was going strong...  Dry yeast seems to work the best for me...

I racked to secondary..  Tasted pretty good (hints of the spices and light in color).... Reading was 1.014 for a  5.24%.  Im leaving for two weeks in secondary....
