I am looking for some thoughts on my RIS. I just racked it and expected a gravity to be lower than it is. I brewed in 12/29/16. Starting gravity was 1.121 and after fermentation, reads 1.044. I used 2 freshly hydrated packs of US-05..aerated well over several hours until fermentation took off and it fermented very vigorously for a couple weeks and then continued to slowly ferment for another 2+ weeks at 68F. I honestly expected to be in the 1.030 range. Perhaps it really is done? It tastes good and I will be adding charred white oak sticks that I have had soaking in quality bourbon. Perhaps some cacoa nibs and fresh vanilla bean. Haven't made my mind up yet ABV reads 10.11% as is.
Heres the recipe in case the grain bill is in question.
13 lbs Canadian pale malt
3.25 lbs Muncih
1 lb brown malt
1 lb flaked oats
1 lb crystal 60
.5 lb crystal 120
1.5 lbs chocolate malt
1.25 lbs raosted barley
Any ideas? Thoughts? Should I add more fresh yeast?? Thanks in advance.
