I have a few questions about krausening; first, can you do it with any beer or does it work better with certain beers than it does with others; secondly, about how much wort do I remove before adding the yeast for propper krausening. I know priming is a lot easier but I'd like to keep as much sugar as I can out of the beer. Thanks much for all the info!
 
it depends on the og and the batch size. The calculator i have to figure it out says that a 5 gallons batch of 1.060 wort would need 1 quart. It doesn't say what carb level that'll give though. As the og increases you need less and as the batch size increases you need more.
Another term for it is gyle so that might help you on your searches to look it up that way
