Hey guys, I recently brewed a Pumpkin Saison using various fall squash (Butternut, Acorn, & Yams), based off of the recipe here. I mashed at ~148/149F, OG of 1.008 and pitched WLP565 Yeast.
The fermentation originally got stuck around 1.035, so I warmed it up and stirred it a bit in a temp-controlled chamber and let it go at around 85F for several weeks. It quickly went down to 1.01 where it has now stayed for a while. I'm wondering if it's possible to get this further down to say 1.00, or are there perhaps unfermentable sugars left from the squashes (6Lbs total added to the mash)? Or could there be some left from some of the special malts?
I'd like to get it to finish as dry as possible, and am mostly wondering if it's fully attenuated yet or if there's some room to ferment further.
