[COHO] Braggot Question

[Huntkng@aol.com]

02-13-08
Hello all,
 
6 weeks ago I brewed a Braggot.  The OG was above what my hydrometer  would 
read; so I'm guessing it was 1.110 - 1.120.  After 30 days I  transferred it to 
the secondary; the SG was 1.018.  I forgot the Irish Moss  and it is still 
cloudy in the carboy.  I'm still getting bubbles through  the air lock at about 
one every 4-5 minutes.  I rouse it every day.
 
I reviewed the "King Arthur's Own" recipe I use as a basis (modified, of  
course) for my brew and it does not have a finish gravity listed.  This is  my 
first Braggot.
 
My question:  What should my finish  gravity am I looking for?  What is a 
normal time range to mature a  Braggot?
 
The recipe:
    *   7 1/2 lbs. British Mild Malt  
    *   1 lb. Crystal 40  
    *   .5 lb Crystal 120  
    *   1 lb. Vienna malt  
    *   1-1/4 tsp. Irish moss (15 minute boil)  
    *   6 pounds wildflower honey (boil 15 minutes) - I used Clover Honey  
    *   Wyeast - N/W ale yeast
