I brewed up a barleywine last Sunday, had OG of 1.093, added wort at day 2 to bring anticipated OG of 1.109, after very good fermentation for 2 1/2 - 3 days, it has ceased, I am at 1.040.
I used the WLP 099 high gravity yeast, which should give me greater than a 80% , should be down to 1.027 or so.
I aerated after boil and the first three days, but nothing happened after third time. (White Labs suggests aerating every day for 5 days)
Any ideas as to where I go from here? I know, first answer is let it set which is fine, but should that be all? Anything I can/should do other than that?
