Upping the hydration (Reinhart's WW Sandwich Loaf)

I am trying to increase hydration on Reinhart's WW Sandwich Loaf recipe. Am I correct that I do this when adjusting the final dough, or should I add more water to the biga or the soaker? 

Does anyone have a source to see good pictures of what 75% hydration dough should look like? (Preferably pictures of several different hydrations) and videos of how to knead it, even if it is just for the three-four minutes Reinhart recommends? (I see one in the video section on this site, and wonder if there are other methods)

Blessings!

Has very good videos - and he's a tfler. I'm sure Google can help out with tons of videos. Think I'll give a look myself!

(the "at" got added when I pulled it up,  guessing the ending may change for each country?)  

Especially good for newbies  and us oldies that tend to forget stuff.   :)  

Thank you,   Mini
