I have a question about the attenuation using US-05 for a dead guy clone. I've made it several times with different yeasts on hand and my note taking of the terminal gravity and my understanding of the finer points of Beer Tools Pro was lacking.
According to John Maier it shouldn't be dry and finish out to a 1.015 - 1.016. He mashes at 152*F and uses Pacman yeast. What is the attenuation of US-05? I need 77%. Can I control it with my mash temperature alone? Thank you in advance... Richard
EDIT: I guess I'm looking for a 77% (AA) attenuation as per the website; http://rogue.com/beers/dead-guy-ale.php
EDIT: I have a Munich Dunkel finishing out around 75% (AA) using US-05 with 70% Munich malt and was mashed at 154*F.
