| attenuation |
A measure of the drop in specific gravity which takes place as the wort ferments. One of the characteristics of yeasts which brewers concern themselves with is the average attenuation, which can range from yeast to yeast. 65% would be a low attenuation, while 85% would be very high. No brewer's yeast ferments all the sugars in the beer. Selecting a yeast strain with a certain average attenuation is another tool the brewer has to control the body of the beer.
