Are WLP-001 and US-05/1056 the same strain?

I agree with everyone else about the 68C causing the high FG.

The recipe you've based yours on is kinda similar to Jamils recipies in Brewing Classic Styles. From memory, i've had issues with getting the FG to the levels in the recipe before, and i don't think i mashed at 68 like he suggests.

The link you gave didn't give an estimated FG, however his book has to amber ale recipes. AAA1: OG 1052 FG 1013 mashed at 67... AAA2: 1.067 FG 1.015 mashed at 67.

not sure if this info is useful to you or not though

Yes, it is useful, thanks!
If I had some idea of the predicted FG in the original recipe, I possibly wouldn't have panicked!

I've learned quite a bit from this thread, except no-one has answered the now kind of irrelevant question in the OP. Maybe I should pm a mod to change the title to reflect the contents a little better!

Getting 10 answers that dont relate to the OP yet still (kinda) get what you need?
