I know you usually get the opposite question!! But anyway heres the deal.
I have an extreme berry stout that had an og somewhere above 1.1 I know this but how much so I'm not sure. Anyway its now going on day 28 and The airlock has slowed down to maybe one every 2 minutes or so? With the Super High Gravity Yeast from WL should I really just wait till airlock activity stops completely? I can't believe how long this has been fermenting.
But now I have 2 other stouts one was og 1.080 and the other 1.060 and they are still fermenting (Airlock Activity) after 18 and 16 days respectively. All at about the same rate like once every 2-3 minutes.
I've taken SG on them all and they SHOULD be done. They haven't moved after 5 days....but the airlock is still going.
I did this to a stout 2 weeks ago. Its SG didn't change from 1.020 for over 5 days, but you could still see little bubbles pop on the surface but since SG is supposed to be the way to go and it had been like 17 days in the primary I decided to bottle it. Well I have had an exploding bottle so far (But I think it may have been a weak bottle also though... the bottom blew out of it which is a first.
Anyway curious to hear what you all think.
