You wanted an OG of 1.055. It looks like it will be over.

Notes:

From 1.059 to 1.017 is a RA of 57.45% and AA of 71.19%. This beer was plenty over pitched from a cake so the sacc rest must be too high. BIAB was used with thin mash- which is known to favor Alpha Amylase. Though I did perform a beta rest, perhaps an even lower or longer B rest is needed. Or use thicker mash during B rest.
