Thanks for the input. I plan on taking a grav sample tomorrow. And I would never pour back.. I cannot wait to taste it!
Update: I went ahead and tested the gravity tonight. 1.012 @63F
I ran the numbers, and that gives the following:
OG 1.091 (corrected)
Current grav: 1.012
ABV 10.37%
Apparent attenuation 86%
Actual: 70.67%
If I have read correctly, US-05 tends to attenuate to 73-77, so I may still eek out a bit more from this face melter.
The taste is good, but it is still quite cloudy. It is a bit 'hot' but not too much and I think to be expected with that ABV, and I think it will mellow some once I let it sit on the trub and dry hop it. Unfortunately it doesn't have long to condition, and I think I may have to piss off my girlfriend and clear out a sizable chunk of fridge to cold crash it for a day or two.
