Since I'm a noob I had to ask about something I'm seeing in my latest beer.
I made a tripel using asome Wyest 3944 I had in the freezer and its attenuation range according to the website is 72-76".
OG = 1.060 (I know this is low, I messed up my first partial mash )
Then added 1.5 Lb of sugar in three seperate additions so if I'm calculating this correctly... 46*1.5/5.25 = 13 points
So I'm using 1.073 as my OG.
I just took a gravity measurement, she's still bubbling slowly, and it came out at 1.015 with temp corrections. This is where it gets weird because this would give me an apparent attenuation of 78.3% (according to BeerSmith).
Is the website spec just an average range or is something else going on? I did use Mr Malty to calculate my starter size so I know it had a healthy start. Thanks for the help!
