I used the same, but got 5 more points. I roused it for the next few days.
The hydrometer jar tasted wonderfully complex with a hoppy alcohol finish that will make this a wonderful winter warmer next winter.
Yeah, I started high at 1.092, anyway. Hydro sample tastes decent. Definitely needs time. I'm still pleased knowing I'll be sitting on this one for a year (for the most part) anyway.

Yeah, it's kinda neat to have something stored away with a date so far in the future. I just noticed my keg of Apfelwein with the AHC Conference Tape on it. Made in May of last year and will be over a year old when I tap it in Cinci in June. Should be mighty tasty.

Are you going to Cincy? I'm thinking about heading out to it.

Well I just HAD to take a peek into the bucket to see how it was doing. The krausen got about 5" high and has fully fallen into the beer. I took a hydrometer reading and got..... 1.042. Ohhhh no it doesn't! That damned yeast cake isn't done by a long shot! So I roused it up a bit and more CO2 dissolved out of solution than the winner of a beerfarting contest. We'll see how it goes now won't we?

Mine's been sitting steady at 1.024 for the past couple of days. I think I'll rack to secondary tomorrow. With this crazy big of a beer, I was expecting more than an 8% abv, but this'll make a much more drinkable beer.

temperature is a little low and it may have gotten stuck, so i gave it a swirl. should be ok, tho, it tastes wonderful but could definitely be a little more dry.
sampled my mild too. tastes really good, not sure about the lemony flavor from the sorachi hops (might not use those next time) but it's still a damn fine brew.
