Hi,
I'm building a recipe for Old Ale.
When I add the fermentables to the recipe the values calculated show OG = 1.065, ABV = 6.82.
However, when I select 'Late Addition (Fermenter)' for the sugars (Molasses and Honey) the figures are OG = 1.057 and ABV = 6.03. I am using kettle efficiency.
I understand that the OG is lower, but the ABV should still be 6.82 as the sugars will be added to the fermenter and contribute alcohol to the beer.
Is this a problem with the recipe editor, or do I need to use it differently?
