Just pitched and put in the dark.
Any thoughts?

I think I would leave this one in the fermenter for 5 or 6 weeks, then bottle if the gravity is close to where it is predicted to end and is stable. It should be pretty good by Christmas, even better by next Christmas.

I have a Barleywine of comparable ABV (OG 1.093, FG 1.010 = 10.87%). I am planning on letting it sit in Primary for 8 weeks before I bottle (at 7 weeks now). I plan on saving this for rainy season (it will be 6 months old) and for the holidays (at 10 months).

Yeah man. Age this thing. Crack a bottle open after its carbonation period to make sure it's where it should be, and just leave it be for a while.

I plan on bottling and giving this out as Christmas gifts, so Christmas will be the earliest anyone can tell me I screwed up lol. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1427555682.920422.jpg

Here is the black one I have in secondary right now- doing the same thing- gonna French wrap 22oz bottles and give as Christmas gifts. I tasted a sample of the Sack Sweat yesterday for S&Gs and I was seriously surprised at how good it is already. When age smooths it out, it's going to be a hell of a beer.
