Is there a way to manipulate the attenuation in BS3? The estimated attenuation is typically 10% pts or higher than what I see the yeast capable of. For example:
I'm using WLP003 for an Altbier.
White Labs lists attenuation for this yeast as 73-80%
When looking at this yeast's profile in BS3 it is the same as above.
However in the "session tab" in BS3 it as 87.3% as the estimated attenuation.
If BS3 is using an 87.3% attenuation estimate in recipe formulation, this will throw off my ABV/FG# estimate at a minimum and now I'm left guessing (or doing the math myself) on what OG to hit to meet a specific desired ABV.
This is not an anomaly for me in BS3. Most estimated attenuation % in the "session" way overestimate what the yeast seems capable of, and my own FG numbers are always higher than what BS3 estimates due to this discrepancy.
Is there a way I can edit estimated efficiency in the program?
