Ok, I'll admit it , I was in a rush, and totally blew off the brix
reading before I pitched my yeast and went away for two days. I don't
know why I did this. I KNEW the brix was at 30 . Anyway, its now the
Day 4 and my readings are SG=1.012 @ 70 degrees F down from 1.122,
Brix level = 2.5, and the PA is at 1.5 % down from an inital 16. I'm
waiting for the PA to go down to at least .995 before I initiate MLF.
Does anybody have any idea what I can expect from this mess? I'm
leaning towards the idea that I'm going to be able to clean car parts
with it.

Not to be facisious but I guess you will get what you get. Probably
somewhere between 11 and 14%. With no idia what the original reading was
you really can not determine what you have unless you want to send it off to
a lab. Just enjoy what you get. ;o)
