Brewed on 8-10-07 Gravities and color are right on the money. Sitting in a fridge @ 52 degrees F. This yeast produces a noticeable amount of Sulphur smell.

It's almost ready, still sitting in the freezer at 52. I'm planning on kegging within the next week or so.

How did you get such a high apparent attenuation with a yeast that has a high attenuation of 77%?
