44% for this yeast common? All i've read is that this yeast strain is a BEAST, according to http://www.brewersfriend.com/abv-calculator/ it says I got 3.81% ABV and 44% attenuation. I expected to come out closer to five but man 3% is low. Here is my notes on my Nut Brown Ale:
- 9lbs of grains that I mashed at 157 for 60mins. And according to Brewers Friend Brewhouse Efficiency calculator I was mashing at 90% efficiency (Pre-boil: 1.069 @5g).
-Then lost .05g of water to evaporation so I added 1gal to the boil and got an OG reading of 1.059.
-During primary fermentation the temp was fluctuating a bit due to the cold weather coming in so I wrapped it in jackets and kept the the temp between 61-65. On the first day it was fermenting like a champ and the airlock was bubbling up then it died down the next few days and after about a week it was dead. When I opened the fermentor up it had a faint ring of krausen. The beer tasted and smelled awesome!
