I have a barleywine that was brewed on 12/27/13. Mashed at 153 for 90 minutes, stirring every 30 minutes, dropped to 148 by end. Collected first runnings to get 4 gallons, 90 minute boil ended up with 2.5 gallons 1.104 wort. Aerated 20 minutes with pump, pitched two packets rehydrated US-05. Aerated for 15 minutes 4 hours after pitching. Fermented in 52deg ambient basement, ferm temp was around 61deg.
Gravity readings have been:
12/27/13- OG 1.104
1/1/14- 1.050 (moved upstairs to 65 ambient)
1/4/14- 1.034
1/6/15- 1.030
According to beersmith, my AA is 69%
I know I need to be patient, planning on giving it another week or two before transferring to 3gal BB for secondary. Just curious if anyone thinks this will hit my target FG of 1.023.
ABV would be 10.8% and AA would be 76%, which I think are within US-05 capabilities.
