Pliny - how does he get FG so low?

[petep1980]

I used WLP001 Cali Ale and my SG was low @ 1.062, but two days later I am at 1.010. I mashed around 149/150.

2 days? holy crap! That's pretty intense. That's the yeast I use all the time. May I ask your ferment temp? Was it carefully controlled?

i use a big starter, low mash at 148 or so and corn sugar around a pound.
i always get in range for final gravity.

never have an issue drying my beer with our cal ale strain, and adding dextrose... ultimatley its mash temp and additional fermentables.

First all-grain batch i went with a pliny clone. Racked to secondary just now and get a sg of 1.035 ( I know Its not done yet but havent seen any activity in a week. This is day 14 so I racked and dry hopped as prescribed. Using a refractomer so im pretty sure of sg. Will it come down? Is this to be expected? and how do I reach a lower FG in the future. I mashed at ~152 and then batch sparged with ~170 water.

Refractometers require a correction to compensate for alcohol.
