It was at around 1.112 for a week then 1.110 for another week. I re pitched it on Friday and it jumped from a 1.110 to just a little tiny bitt under 1.060. Trying to figure out the math if it should be at around 15% alcohol at 1.112 what percent 1.060 is. After my edit i did the math
1.112-1.060=.052 x 129=6.708. So its roughly 6% alcohol a huge jump in just 4 days. Going from almost dead to alive!

At this point I would not do further aeration. Keep it airlocked and swirl it a couple of times each day to keep the yeast up in the suspension to help them along. Then sit back and wait patiently.
