I usually cheat a bit on some of my sours by doing a sour mash with a couple of pounds of the malt. This time I'm using a pure lacto culture. This can be problematic in beers that rely on the complexity of the souring process, but here that shortcoming is hidden under a wave of cherry goodness. Does the yeast in this recipe attain an 90% attenuation? Probably not, but the various bugs will whittle away at the available sugar and get the final gravity down below the calculated amount. Looks like the Brewgr algorithms average the attenuation? Not sure how that makes sense.
