Expected increase in FG from using DME instead of sugar?

Post by BarryNL » Mon Mar 12, 2007 6:46 pm

I've made up the Brewferm Ambiorix kit which calls for 1075g of sugar to be added. Instead, I used 800g of light spray malt and 300g of glucose.

The kit says the beer should ferment down to 1.010 but I assume using the DME means that I can expect the FG to be somewhat higher. Does anyone know a way to predict what my actual FG should be (especially as it now appears 'stuck' at 1.018 from an OG of 1.054 - though as it's only 48 hours since I pitched the yeast, I'm not panicking yet).
