Have a question about the 1118 yeast. Is it possible to get a abv of 21% out of a yeast rated for 18%, bc if I read my hydrometer correct then my lil experiment has reach a 21%. Thanks for any and all advice.
Yes. Alcohol tolerance can often be pushed higher by incremental feeding, healthy yeast, and simple sugars. It would not be terribly uncommon to get 20% out of EC1118.Have a question about the 1118 yeast.

When would u consider it as aging? Like what I mean is, would that year start when it's nice and clear or when I started it? I hope I made some since in that jumble of words, if not I will try to explain again.Golddiggie said:Don't completely forget about it... Check on it every so often, especially if you fit it with an airlock. You'll want to keep liquid in the airlock. After a while you can swap that for a solid bung/stopper, but still check on it. Keep it where the temperature is stable, and cooler, and it will age even better.
