We maybe should have brewed since I think some wild yeast got into our pale ale (hence the 83% attenuation). And then we repitched the same yeast for our IPA. [...] [...] Memphis.

The pale ale had an OG of 1.051 and FG of 1.09. It's not a bad batch of beer, but just lacks any real substance to it. Gonna need to tweak the recipe a bit. The scotch ale should attenuate at about 65-70%. Yeah…turns out 83% IS a bit dry, even for an American Pale Ale. The pale ale had an OG of 1.051 and FG of 1.09.

We only reached 83% with our organic pale ale, so hopefully it will suit the style all right. Jeff has all of the gravity numbers on his computer, so I won't guess at them. I'll just get him to respond. Yeast attenuation. We only reached 83% with our organic pale ale, so hopefully it will suit the style all right.

What style of beer are you shooting for? What's your OG and FG? 83% mash efficiency is good. 83% attenuation from your yeast may leave you with an overly-dry beer. I.e. I wouldn't want a scotch ale that had been that heavily attenuated. Of course, I love dry, hoppy IPA's, so 83% might be perfect for that. 83% attenuation? What style of beer are you shooting for?

Are you talking about yeast attenuation or brewery efficiency? Regardless, I'm attenuenvious. 83%? Are you talking about yeast attenuation or brewery efficiency?

Regardless, I’m attenuenvious.
