Hey everyone, about a month ago I brewed an NB Imperial Stout with an OG of 1.090 (5 gal). After I took the OG, I added a yeast starter that had 16 oz. water and 1/2 cup LDME and 8 oz. maltodextrin. I used Wyeast smack pack Scottish Ale.
What will be the increase in gravity given the 1/2 cup LDME and 8 oz. maltodextrin- .008?
I also added the yeast nutrient powder. Is this starter good enough to eat all the sugar in a big beer? The starter was made 24 hours before adding to the 5 gallons.
What should my target FG be? 1.030?
I'm going to be transferring my stout to the secondary so I need to know so I can measure my FG and determine ABV.
Thanks
