    Function fermentableAttenuationFraction

    • Apparent attenuation of one fermentable, as a fraction of its own extract.

      • An explicit fermentabilityPercent always wins.
      • sugar ferments out completely: 1.0.
      • non-fermentable (lactose, maltodextrin) does not ferment at all: 0.0.
      • Everything else attenuates at whatever the yeast manages.

      This is why a recipe with 10 % dextrose finishes drier than the yeast's published attenuation alone would suggest, and a milk stout finishes sweeter.
