Hi folks,
Long time browsing first time posting here. I want to start a batch of mead. The recipe call for 20 lb. of honey and 20 lb. of triple fruit (frozen blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries). I know how to take a reading of the liquid honey to get the OG reading but how do I know how much more sugar will I get out of the fruit to get my accurate OG?. Do I let the fruit soak in my primary fermenter for couple of days to get the fruit releases the sugar then take a reading before adding yeast?
Your time is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Alain
