Not sure what the attenuation is, but I made a big ass starter with this yeast and it took my IIPA from 1.080 to 1.016 in 9 days ( maybe less, just transfered). Beersmith estimated a 1.024 FG which made me sad, but it was the only yeast I had on hand. Well, it rocked out with its cock out and hooked me up with a nice balanced double IPA. :ban: :ban:

EDIT: Here's the recipe thread.. gonna put in database in a few: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=42548&highlight=paisley
 
Yeah I've read a lot about this being a poor attenuating yeast, but it just took my barleywine from 1.100 to 1.027 in 9 days. I made a large starter, 2 steps, 2 liters, and kept it at about 70 with a swamp cooler.
