Hi all
I am planning my next brew to clone a beer, aiming to clone ABV and FG as close as possible.
What is confusing me is how Beersmith 2 calculates FG based on the attenuation of the yeast in the recipe. I am going to use WLP570 which is listed as 73% - 78% attenuation in the ingrdient profile.
My recipe OG is 1.068 and BS2 predicts an FG of 1.005. The alcohol and attenuation tool in BS calculates 1.068 to 1.005 as 90%attenuation, confirmed by another calculator.
So if the yeast in the recipe has a max attenuation of 78% why is it predicting 90% attenuation?
Help?
