All -
Was just getting reading to bottle my CCA and accidentally didnt take the FG until I added the beer AND...
-5 oz corn sugar
-4 oz lactose sugar
-2 oz - Malto Dextrin Powder
-2 oz Vanilla extract
... to the bottling bucket THEN took the FG.

Can anyone give me a ballpark as to how many points that will affect the FG by?
Is it like .002? .004?

Thanks!
 
Basically, I am trying to keep decent records - I know that I will be off a bit on this one... But I am assuming that those ingredients will affect what my hydro reads... Thanks for any input.
 
i punched in 6 oz corn sugar, 4 oz lactose and 2 oz malto dextrin on a 5 gal batch, beersmith gives it an OG 1.005 FWIW , so maybe .006 with the vanilla? IDK.
