Hi Guys,
I searched around for some info on this but couldn't find anything, apologies ahead of time if this has been discussed a lot (only my 12th brew).
I am doing a Belgian Blonde for the third time, changing the yeast from Brux Trois to WLP540 at the recommendation from the LHBS. Allgrain BIAB, starting gravity was around 1.052 (hydrometer).
Mash temp went from 154 down to 142, about 75 minutes. No chill method with saran wrap over the top of the kettle (I've done this several times, limited options in apartments).
Hydrometer readings are now at 1.003 after 12 days. This is by far my lowest FG. Sample is bone dry but tasty.
White labs and other forums put this strain at only 82% attenuation, yet this brew hit 96%. Should I be worried?
