Howdy,
I know, I know, 3 days of hydrometer readings. I just wanted to know if it's possible or usual.
I pitched 5.5 gallons of 1.085 barleywine onto a WPL001 yeast cake. It fermented furiously from hour 2 to about hour 48. The next 24 hours it slowed to a crawl. By day 4 the beer was clear and still: no airlock activity at all.
I'm used to 6-8 days for my lower-gravity beers.
Thanks
