This may sound dumb, but what the hell. I find my IPAs finish 1.012-1.016 for the most parts and the yeast “does it’s job” meaning it’s attenuated within advertised range. I’ve used Chico, Kviek, Dry English (usually Omega), starters on stir plates, etc. low mash temps.
So I guess my question boils down to this: how are you getting low FG with IPAs with OGs of 1.070+
for instance: Pliny Elder/Heady clones claim 8% abv with Chico/Conan. My latest brew started at 1.072 and finished at 1.016 with British Ale yeast, which is more attenuative than Chico or Conan.
obviously little/no crystal, low mash...
what am I missing here?
