I am trying to put together a recipe in BS2 for apple cider, but the Estimated FG does not look right. It is coming in way low, like 0.992. From everything I've read online, with no added sugar, on average I should expect an OG of approximately 1.043 and an FG of about 0.998, finishing about 6% ABV.
I have the batch type set to Extract, the apple cider added as a "grain" but with the type set as sugar, and am using WLP775 yeast. For the apple juice, I have it set to 5 pounds (I estimated 1 lb/gal), with potential set to 1.043.
I was hoping that BS would give a better estimate of attenuation so I could get a better idea of how much sugar I need to add to hit my ABV target.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there some setting that I need to change?
