Signs of underpitching

I'm not familiar w/ that yeast, but I bet you'll get a few more points over the next few days. If you want to take it down a bit more, you could bump the temp up a bit and keep the little fella's goin.

Sounds like it's working out for ya though.

Yeah the rate of attenuation on that yeast is 70-80, I think, which is considerably higher than 002.

Let it roll for a few more days even if just to condition a bit and clean things up (diacetyl maybe...). You might gain a couple more points depending on your mash temp, but even at 1.015 for a finishing gravity it will still be a delicious mild!

Yeah I'm going to let it go until late next week, especially since I've been having bottle carbonation problems lately. There is nothing worse than ruining a great English ale with high carbonation. I did mash pretty high (154-155) and I don't mind the extra residual sugars anyway.
