I recently kegged a Belgian dark strong that I fermented with the Wyeast 3787 High Gravity Trappist yeast, which I have had very good results with in the past. The OG was 1.083, so I was expecting an FG of 1.017 or lower, but it stopped at 1.021. Okay, that's not too shabby, I know, but my experience with fermenting Belgian tripels with that yeast led me to believe that I would get full attenuation or better.
Further, a buddy of mine brewed a Belgian imperial stout with the 3787, and it only fermented down to 1.035.
Has anyone else recently used 3787? Did you get the expected result? I'm wondering if Wyeast just made an off-batch, or maybe 3787 doesn't play nice with dark malts, or, or, or...
