I've only used the German Ale/Klsch(WLP029) once and I got an attenuation of 85%.
The yeast specs are for an attenuation of 72-78%

Have any of you guys used this yeast much, and is 85% common or likely to be a one-off ?

TIA,
Doc
 
i havent used it for about 3 years doc, but i was getting 80-85%
 
Cheers Oz.
Will calc the recipe on 80% then I think.
Makes it a bit of a guess though when you are trying to produce a beer of specific parameters.

Doc
 
yeah your right......spend all that time working out sugars and hops, then dont take into acount the yeast
 
Good Day Doc
Used it this year for a kolsch 80% and an alt 77%.
 
Just racked the Kolsch and it is already at 79.17% attenuation.
Will mention it to White Labs when I visit them in July.

Beers,
Doc
