Cigar City uses it as their house and gets 75-80% attenuation.
The stopped using it because it took too long to drop bright. When you're in production and there's a big demand, you have to look for efficiency. I think they use 1056 for most of their ales now.
Out of curiousity what would be the effect of pitching at too high but dropping the temp over time? I know this is bad practice. I don't as much control over my beers as I would like right now due to a different location and brewing partner...long story...
Depends on how far it drops. Diacetyl would be my main concern if it was just a few degrees, but if it was a big drop the yeast could stall out early.
I wouldn't worry about it.
Let's say that the yeast was pitched at 70F and over two weeks the temp dropped to 62F. Is this a prime scenario for diacetyl? I am so used to using US05 that I am worried my practices will mess up the beer.
The moment I realized that Denny's Batch Sparge website was as simple as it seemed.
Started in '91 and was taught by one of my cousins, who had been brewing for a while, all grain. So I started with all grain. Speaking of pre-internet, who remembers "The Cat's Meow"? I still have copy on one of my brew book shelves.
Oh, yeah! Worst recipe database ever! Did you do rec.cafts.brewing, too?
Yes I did. I may have to go home tonight and see if I can dig up my copy of Cat's Meow and flip through it!
I know a brewer named Maurice.
yes, I remember that. "I haven't/just brewed this and I know it is going to be really good."Started in '91 and was taught by one of my cousins, who had been brewing for a while, all grain.

I signed up but never got the reply email.
After reading all of these posts, I wonder why I don't have problems.
hmmmmmmmmm
I've got Chuck Taylor hi tops, too. Doesn't make me a basketball player!
Not unless you're going out for the ABA.
My first thought was take off the head and take it apart. See what's going on with the impeller. Could be junk in there or some other problem binding up the impeller.

Why I didn't listen to Denny about that I don't know.
After doing it the first time, I said "that is all there is to it?".
