For argument sake say I add 5 liters of pre boiled water to my 15 liter FWK and the est OG/SG once having added the water is est to be 1.058 then what would my est FG be?

I also think from memory (OG-FG = ABV) ??

And X 131

Est FG calculators anywhere? I have the OG.

Your FG will depend on the type of yeast used to a certain extent of course (attenuation).
I know Brewfather calculates FG but you may need to add in a dummy recipe, which probably isn’t too hard. 

What style of beer is it? We can probably guess close to a grain bill for the purposes of entering a dummy recipe and calculating FG…

Good on ya Toner @Tone boy mate, many thanks for the reply. The yeast I'm using is considered high say around 75% attenuation - I'm having trouble with the calculators because I've really only done K&K's with partials and bits and bobs so I haven't a clue even for putting in a dummy recipe in an AG calculator.

So simply put the Est OG/SG will be 1.058 and I'm using a yeast which has 75% attenuation. 

It's a lager - Aussie lager to be precise.

How many litres?

Here’s one I modified to get an OG of 1.053. Using S23 yeast (75% attenuation) it comes out at 1.013 FG. That’s at 12 degrees C. 
Of course there will be unknown variables like mash temp but that should give you an idea anyway…

Thanks Toner mate, much appreciated.

I changed it to 20 litres on Brewfather but the estimated FG didn’t change…still 1.013. 
Est ABV = (1.053-1.013) x 131.25

= 5.25% 

If bottling add a bit more ABV

Oh but Toner, I'm a newbie Kegger.

G'day brewers, could I sub Nott for US-05 yeast for a FWK - XPA? Didn't read the fine print and the cubes shown up without yeast and I don't have US-05 handy....TIA

So that's a yes Oz to use Nott instead of using the US-05 as per their instructions?

It's certainly a beast when it comes to getting started.

For what it's worth Mick I have used Nottingham a few times, it is a great yeast. Last time was in an American Pale Ale.
