12 ounces. Another plus is that they probably would not be bottle bombs after just 10 days...

It does seem like a long shot, but at least I might have a chance. The first version had major astringency issues

Agree on the potential for beer grenades. I brewed a Belgian Strong Ale almost five months ago, and I'm still not sure that it's fully finished.

The gravity finally stopped falling after about 14 weeks at around 1.018, and that was only 8.2% ABV. It's been conditioning in the keg, and pressure hasn't increased, so it appears to be done, but it still tastes like there's a lot of unfermented sugars.

The keg has been in refrigeration at 38°F for 3 weeks but I'm a bit afraid to bottle it for a comp, fearing a restart of fermentation. I did hit it with some Biofine, which should help to settle out any dormant yeast.
