WLP001 82% attenuation!

[Happywanderer]

Holy crap. I never thought to see 82% on this yeast.

I was expecting 75% at best because this was a 1.080 OG brew and I shorted myself on the starter (according to mr malty....only did a 2-step starter and "needed" a 3-step). I also fermented at 62 degrees for 1.5 weeks then ramped up to 68. That was lower than recommended ferment temps.

Now my experimental IPA is 8.4%

Well ... Better than not attenuating enough I guess.

And I'm bottling in 22-oz bottles... Guess I'll be saving these for Friday nights when I don't have to worry about work the next day!

I love that yeast! I always get great attenuation with it also, especially when I mash low.

Yep my mash was on the low end. Attenuated like crazy. Going to have to plan for that in the future.
