Hey,
I'm brewing the Stone Ruination Clone in this month's issue of BYO. It says it should have OG of 1.072 and FG of 1.012 but the yeast they recommend is WLP002 (I'm using Wyeast 1968, same thing). Anyway, to get those numbers, I would need 82% apparent attenuation and the range for 1968 is 67-71%. The article even mentions it should have a 'dry finish'.
What should I do to get it down to 1.012? Can I pitch a higher attenuating yeast once the primary ferment is done to pull it down a few more points?
FYI, I brewed it last night so I don't know what the FG will be but I'm anticipating that it won't be anywhere close to 1.012. My OG was 1.071. The lowest I expect is 1.020...
