I am starting to have a some 5 gallon batches of my IPAs, all the same grain bill but using different hops each batch, turn into IIPAs due to 83+% yeast attenuation. I am using Safale US-05 for all of the IPA brews. I am starting to dial in ~75% mash efficiency, which is awesome.
Setup
-------------
1) Rubbermaid 10 gallon cooler
2) Double batch sparge
-------------
Not that I'm complaining, but what is it about this yeast that makes this happen? The beer comes out fantastic, but due the attenuation, I fall out of the style range I am trying to achieve. All mashes are ~152*. Controlled ferm temps from 59*-62*. Do I need to adjust my grain bill with less base malt (2-row) to accommodate for this? Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.
