I'm still confused by this issue. Yeast seem pretty hardy and seem to eat all available sugar. My second extract was a sweet stout that finished WAY to high yet every time I have a brew that doesn't finish as low as I think it should the yeast still eat the priming sugar.
I know the higher the mash temps the longer the sugars get. Do different strains of brewers yeast simply stop eating at different points on this chain of sugars. If I took a high attenuating yeast and a low attenuating yeast and split a batch of sugar water would they still finish different?
