I'm about to use the above yeast for the first time today and I realise I'm not sure what it should ferment down too? I know S04 gets down to 1010 from my usual of around 1040 ish so I assume it's about the same, just wondering if anyone knows. My current brew will end up at mid - high 1040's.

Its quite a bit more attenuative than S04, the other big difference you will see is that it doesn't sediment as quickly as S04. It'll probably shave a few extra gravity points off so look out for it hitting around the 1008 mark.
Its a great yeast for hoppy beers BTW really lets them shine through.

Thanks for that DB, I did choose it due to it being fairly neutral in flavour and also being good for ipa's but wasn't sure how well it dropped re the fg.
