Hi guys newbie here. Lower abv faster fermentation?

[Silas1]

Hey guys I was only using 5 gal still but now I upgrade. I am making bigger mashes and I notice that it takes longer.
About a sugar wash. Do you think I can make my fermentation shorter by geting my abv lower? (like 5%)
Excume my bad english. I am from Venezuela

I don't believe lower abv necessarily means faster fermentation but I can see your thinking. Less sugar to convert equals yeast eat it fast.

I just had a 1.060 wort get down to 1.008 in 7 days so not sure how much faster you're looking to get.
