6 weeks ago I brewed a big barleywine. 1.118 OG, pitched 2 packs of rehydrated US05 and let it ride. Checked gravity at 4 weeks, 1.024.
Checked gravity again 1 week ago, 1.024. I pitched a rehydrated pack of EC1118 hoping to get it closer to 1.01. After 4 days, it's at 1.022.
I had planned on bottling it 2 days from now (mostly because I have time that day, time is very scarce right now). Should I let the EC1118 ride a week or two? Or pitch something else? Or if gravity stays at 1.022 just bottle it? Seems a little sweet to me for bottling.
Thoughts?
