I know the BU:GU ratio is a metric that can be used to determine malty or bitter but it doesn't factor in the dryness of the alcohol content of the beer.
In other words, would a high ABV beer (with no hops) still need bitterness added and at what point (ABV) would it balance with the malt?
1.) What is the role of alcohol in the bitterness and dryness of a beer?
2.) Is there a formula that includes the alcohol content, ibu and gravity in the bitterness?
3.) Is there a measure of dryness and Is there a formula for calculating the dryness of a beer?
4.) At what point does the alcohol content start to affect the dryness? Are there any charts such as ABV vs dryness?
5.) What is the interaction between bitterness and dryness?
