    Changing mash temp doesn't change predicted FG or ABV

    Well, true and tweaking the attenuation or efficiency is a potential hack. But it's an absolute that a higher mash temp, (especially 158 - 160 or higher) will significantly favor alpha amylase and therefore non-fermentable sugars. It would be helpful if BF could estimate.
