Attenuation is the consumption of sugar by yeast. More attenuation means less residual sugar which generally means a drier beer … or does it? A lot of factors come into play in how much attenuation a beer will undergo and that is only somewhat related to how dry or sweet that beer will be perceived by the drinker.
On this episode of the All About Beer Podcast, we talk with a Master Cicerone about how attenuation is related (or not) to dryness and we speak with a brewer about how he thinks about attenuation in recipe development.
