Well the 7th generation finished at 76.1% AA and pH 3.88. The lower pH is exactly as expected with 24% of extract from corn flakes. But I'm more convinced I'm seeing a real downward trend in attenuation, though still within (actually well above) the manufacturer's stated attenuation. And no other changes in yeast performance; in fact with each batch lag has shortened and it has reached final attenuation quicker, with pH drop following the drop in density at an identical rate. What I can't say is whether this drop in attenuation is directly attributable to fermentation under pressure, or something else emerging in my process as I adapt to pressure fermentation. I'm comfortable calling it anyway, and saying I have an answer to the question I started with in this experiment: pressure fermentation doesn't seem to do any SIGNIFICANT long term harm to yeast. It's going to remain my SOP. I'll repitch this yeast for an 8th generation this weekend, as I've no time to prop up a new pitch. But I'll do so after this batch, and take that out as far as I feel comfortable doing. At some point in the future I'll report if there are any new insights, and hope others might do so here as well. BTW, these beers are excellent lagers, with fine, clean, crisp flavor and EXCELLENT foam qualities. So there are a couple of proposed possible drawbacks of pressure fermentation debunked.
