What kind of attenuation ya'll getting with WLP530? WLP website says 75-80% but in my recipe with beer smith it suggests 86.5%. My recipe includes the candi syrup as well as mashing at 150 for 90 minutes. Does 86.5% seem high? Recipe OG is 1.062 and FG is estimated at 1.008.

One thing to keep in mind is that that BeerSmith does not take into account the intrinsic fermentability of each grain in the grain bill. It does consider mash temp, mash length, and yeast strain. And it (I think) considers candi syrup to be 100% fermentable. (The dark syrups are not, really, but pretty close). But it doesn't differentiate between, say, Pilsner Malt and Special B.

If you'd like a second opinion, you could post your grain bill and syrup type/amount here.
