OK - I know my limitations, and this one has me scratching my head. I want to add clear candi syrup (16 ozs. 1.032 ppg) at high krausen or just after and I want to calculate ABV with that late addition. Is there an easy way to get at what the OG would have been if it had been added to the 5 gallon batch before the reading was taken without it? Working with Beersmith, but I’m not sure how to manipulate it for this…
Take 1.032 and divide by the volume in your fermenter. 1.032/5 ~ 1.006. Add that to your OG.
Beersmith might allow you to program additions added during fermentation. Don’t use it so can’t say for sure
Cool, so it is like an additional 6 points added to the OG? So if OG as measured prior to addition was 1.055, the OG would be 1.061?
Yeah, if your batch was 5 gallons that is.
In beersmith I add it into my recipe. Write down the expected og. Delete. Write down the og without. The og without the post boil sugar is your measured og
Yep that’s the way to go.
