The last IPA that I made finished a little bit sweeter than I would have liked. I have another one planned for the near future and I wanted to add some dextrose to increase the fermentability of the wort.
When I play around with my partial mash recipe and replace a portion of the extract with say one pound of dextrose to hit the same OG, Beersmith and Beer Calculus both show the same projected FG regardless of whether or not the gravity is coming from LME or corn sugar. Is there no way to estimate how dry a beer will finish depending on the percentage of sugar added?
