I've got a big RIS in the primary right now.
I'd aticipated 1.105 OG and 1.030 FG...
But this is where it stand now:
1.111 OG
1.025 after 8 days (and it tastes like hot gasoline, that doesn't worry me)
That makes it right at 11% ABV now, racked the wort right onto a cake of Wyeast 1084 which theoretically can handle 12% according to Wyeast.
I'm going to let it go in the primary as long as I can, god forbid it attenuates anymore though. I don't think it will, its clearing nicely and there is no activity in the blowoff.
So! Will this carb without extra help? Should I add a wine yeast at bottling? Am I better off resigning to drinking this still?
