When you concoct something with fruit, I assume you need to account for the sugar in the fruit?
I want to make a cherry melomel and I figure the 3 pounds of cherries is going to give me 175 grams of sugar based off the nutritional label.
Do you account for all that sugar in the original specific gravity ?
Should I just add my cherries, the associated juices and water, take a reading and then figure out how much honey ill need to add?
P.s going to be a 1.3 gallon batch
