My 5 gallon pail of strawberry juice is coming in today (I missed the picking season this year so I ordered juice from Walkers). I've been told that the acid level is .79 and they adjusted thebrix adjusted to 18. From what I understand, it would be better to start withthe standardbrix of 22. To adjust the brix, the formula I'm familiar with is that you add 1/4 cup per gallon to raise it 1.25 points. For this batch, I would want to raise the brix by 4 points, so that's .8 cups per gallon or 4 cups total for five gallons.
Am I on the money here? I've just typically followed recipes so I want to make sure I'm not screwing up something. Thanks!
