with 001. Started at 1.052, finished at 1.006. Mashed an APA at 152. 3 week primary, dry hopped after 2. Normal vigorous 001 ferment. Tasted good at kegging, no off flavors I can detect, albeit a bit boozy tasting, but I find that most of my beers have that flavor when they are green.
I’ve never had one finish that low. Anything I should worry about?
Fermented at 67, and dropped to 65 at 2 weeks for dryhop
I just got 86.5% with 1056. Beer tastes great. I wouldn’t worry about yours.
Cool, thanks Denny
+1. That strain just goes a little crazy sometimes…
Not to mention that a lot depends on your wort. I recently got 88.1% with 1450 with a fermentable wort.

That got me thinking a bit. I’ve done a number of apa/session ales, but this one seems to have the least crystal, and looking at my notes I mashed at 151.
7 pds 2 row
2.5 pds pilsen
14oz carapils
8 oz wheat
8 oz crys 40
I had a Rauchbier fermented with 2565 go from 1.054 to 1.004. My beer is still drinking fine.
I just brewed an extract version of Jamil’s Evil Twin and it went from 1.067 down to 1.010 with Safale US-05 so that was about 82% attentuation but yours blows mine out of the water haha
I’ve several of my golden strongs start at 1.070-1.075, and they usually finish at 1.006-1.008. I use wyeast 1388 usually. They all taste pretty good! If you like the way it comes out, don’t worry about the numbers.
