Hello. I have been following my brew with a tilt hydrometer (that I believe is within 1 or 2 pts). I am using dried Lutra kveik and it seems to have "stalled" at 1.010 FG. According to Beersmith 3, it expected to reach 1.005. Digging a little deeper, I noticed that the Lutra attenuation is supposed to be between 75 and 82%, meaning my 77.6% isn't out of the ordinary. This reassures me, but my concern is that Beersmith 3 used an estimated attenuation of 88.8% for a yeast that is max 82% according to the manufacturer. Is this working as intended? I read a note in the updated features that you modified how the attenuation calculated depending on our mash schedule, but does it not also take the max for the yeast into account? Thanks!
Cheers,
Ryan
P.S. I manually tweaked the max attenuation for the yeast in my recipe and it did change. It is taken into account in some way, but the estimated attenuation was still higher than the max.
