So I have brewed this beer 2x times now and can not get it past 1.020 looking for some advice.

5.00 g Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate) (Mash 60.0 mins) Water Agent 2 -
4.00 g Epsom Salt (MgSO4) (Mash 60.0 mins) Water Agent 3 -
6 lbs 11.2 oz Pearl Malt (Thomas Fawcett) (3.0 SRM) Grain 4 49.5 %
5 lbs 11.4 oz Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 5 42.2 %
1 lbs Caramel/Crystal Malt - 10L (10.0 SRM) Grain 6 7.4 %
2.0 oz Acid Malt (3.0 SRM) Grain 7 0.9 %
1.20 oz Apollo [17.00 %] - First Wort 60.0 min Hop 8 65.5 IBUs
1.00 oz Falconer's Flight 7C's Blend [9.50 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop 9 10.1 IBUs
2.00 oz Citra [12.00 %] - Steep/Whirlpool 0.0 min Hop 10 0.0 IBUs
1.0 pkg Conan (GigaYeast #GY054) Yeast 11 -
2.00 oz Citra [12.00 %] - Dry Hop 7.0 Days Hop 12 0.0 IBUs
For V2 I mashed in at 149 for 90min (trying to help attenuate further) and pitched the correct amount of gy054. I also aerated w/ pure 02 right before pitching.
Both times the beers were fermented at 68 degrees and ramped up to 72 degrees.
From Gigyeast : Attenuation Medium Gravity 78% 82% unless my math is off I should at least be getting down to 1.015
Both beers used the same yeast, I built up my original package of yeast then saved and froze some of it. I used starters for both.
I'm not sure what else I can do to get this beer lower
