1 lb of corn sugar and 2 vials of cal ale

[zachj9292]

Ive got an ipa that has an og of 1070 and fg of 1015 according to beersmith. I don't think beer smith takes into account what adding sugar does to the beer and im thinking it should probably be drier. But anyways...

I am using two vials of cal ale and was wondering how you think this fermentation is going to go. Should the yeast eat it down to 1012 maybe?

I was wanting it to be dry like ruination

I think you'll get where you want to go as long as you mashed low enough. Predicting FG is a bit like palm reading. You'll see what it is when the yeast get there.

That Beersmith calc is 78% attenuation which seems pretty reasonable to me. You could always do a force fermentation on a 1/2 Liter of it...you would know within a few days what the lowest attainable FG would be.
