Doing here some test pilot stuff... try a level tight turn at the same power you intend to climb. Do not loose any altutude while turning... take note of the minumum speed at wich you can mantain that altitude while turning.
Then use that very same airspeed as your climb speed, it should be Vy, best rate of climb speed ... or really really close to it, ... with the available excess power.
It works for every aircraft... but do not forget to use superchargers when available and test flight at several altitudes to change speed (usually the higher the slower Vy).
For a Bf.109G, Vy should be about 170 MPH
Good luck.
