    Can you expand on this? Any certain strain you had the trouble with? How did you discover it?

      You could be over pitching and/or over oxygenating the wort which can lead to over attenuation. What's your pitch process and oxygen level (L/min)

        I think that if you are attenuating more now than you were earlier, you may have yeast cross-contamination problems or wild yeast infection. Even single infusion mashing at 155 should yield an FG of about 2.0 - 2.5 on many beers. Chico ale yeast is a pretty good attenuator, but I've never seen it go that low in my brewery.

        You said that you are managing four strains of yeast. This requires very careful washing and sanitation practises, and the risk of cross contamination gets higher the more types of yeast you have.

        You should try fermenting your next batch with a freshly purchased pitch of yeast, but before that, you should run a very thorough clean out of all your tanks, lines, gaskets, valves, ports, man ways, etc.

          Having a very similar issue here. Did you figure out what was causing it?

            Have you checked the accuracy of your temp probes??

              That sounds like diastaticus issue to me. I had some issues like that one time with fresh yeast and turned out to be just the yeast, so knowing that it was preventable
