Hey, y'all are awesome...thanks a lot!

So, I have 5gal of an 8.8% stout that I added 3 cups of a 99proof liquor to before bottling. Does anyone know how to determine an approx abv%???

Okay...thx. First time for dry hopping and my homebrew shop told me it didn't matter. I used 2oz dried whole leaf Columbus hops. To me, it already taste incredible right out of the secondary....go figure.

Hey thanks...I don't have my notes handy but I know I used some Whitelabs in the beginning along with a repitch of some champagne yeast. I know now I must make starters for brewing these BIG beers from now on.

Working on about my 4th 12 pack...yea, I like it!

Why? Yea, maybe 2 months.

Nice...thanks a lot!

Yeah no doubt....but, like my barley wine I'm afraid to bottle it. My barley wine taste awesome but I'm unsure about bottling it at 1.04. Og was 1.124. I'm just not kegging yet....still bottling.

I've had a barley wine dry hopping for a couple months that I brewed on 12/7/11 with a 1.124 og. It taste incredible!...problem is it stalled out at 1.04 fg. Would it be okay to bottle??? I'm not kegging yet.

My homebrew shop is not the best at giving me enough of the correct yeast I need for these bigger beers. Thanks a lot everyone!

I've got a couple clear growlers I think should work.

Hey, I understand that! You knew a name like "scdukeboy" that I just needed it layed out for me in layman's terms. Haha...thanks!

Thanks a lot...I appreciate the feedback. I think I learned something.

That makes sence, thanks. Let me ask you this. Can I use what's in my primary and make a starter with it using more yeast?

I'm using a 6 gal homebrewing bucket.
