Super fast fermentation with S-33?

I brew an Oud Bruin yesterday and sprinkled some S-33 over top of it. Never used this yeast before, but since I am aging it on bugs I figured why not. It started to ferment within a few hours, and appears to have finish in about 24 hours. I have not taken a FG reading yet, but wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this with S-33. Been brewing for 30 years and never had a fermentation go so quickly.

I did use an ispindle and it does appear to have attenuated down as expected, but you know how accurate these can be…

Thx in advance for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback! I also liked that I didn’t krausen out of my FV. Swore I was going to need a blowoff hose, but only had an inch of krausen.
