comment Measuring Dissolved C02
Can I do this on my very lowly carbonated beer in the primary? I'm trying to define how much sugar is necessary given the residual CO2 from fermentation.

comment overheated the mash by a long shot
@Micheal Just to be clear, the only part of my answer I'm editing is the recommendation to dump. The facts above are all true and you will end up with a low alcohol, cloudy, starchy beer. Your acceptance of the other answer made me worry that you have misunderstood this edit.

comment How do I account for Late Hop/Whirlpool IBUs?
I've decided to have a beer and attempt this one myself. Found a great thesis on hop utilization at different temps here: link

All, I didn't want to overdo this, but If it hard to follow I will gladly edit with better formatting and rationale.

You can do an iodine test, read about it here: link, I would not add any sugar.

Bugs can eat bigger molecules, and the tartness might offset the massive F.G. Not only is Roselare his best chance of saving the beer, what could be funkier than pumpkin sour!:)

Good Point Joe. What do you think about throwing in some Roselare and putting under the stairs for a year?
