  Nothing?I guess I may have to try a split batch with 2007 or similar and report back, if
  nothing else.

  My experiences with this yeast have been good, but I think my attenuation has ranged from about
  65 to 70 percent - it is generally low-attenuating.I think your ferment is not stuck, but
  actually "done...

  I am wondering if anyone has tried this yeast, and how it would compare to wyeast, whitelabs,

  I am now thinking of brewing a mild using Orfy's or similar recipe, mashing at 158 for 15-20

  necessary. (thank...
