I'm sure this has been talk to death somewhere, but I haven't been able to find anything definitive on it, so here goes.
I am really wanting to try a 120 min clone, and have a couple unanswered questions.
During incremental feeding how do you calculate the OG during dextrose additions? I saw another post saying 1 6oz bag is about 2.85 gravity points. Is there a way for me to find out specifically for my beer, since I'm assuming every batch can be a bit different.
Second, I am only wanting to get it to around 15-16%, shooting for an adjusted OG of about 1.150 or so, and wanting to finish on the drier side. Will WLP001 be able to handle that much or is a second starter of WLP099 still probably going to be a good idea?
Also, just another general question but relates to this. If my FG ends too high for my preference what is a good way to get it to drop a bit? Will the continued dextrose help it dry out?
Thanks for reading!
