Well i finally tried making inverted sugar for the first time for my blueberry i just started. Trouble is my initial SG reading is really odd.
I used 8lbs of sugar for a 5.5gal batch which by my calculations should raise the sg to about 1.065 but when i took my initial reading it only is showing 1.028.
The sugar was completely dissolved and after inverted with lemon juice i mixed it well in the carboy and added additional water to bring it up to the 5.5gal mark.
Full recipe
5.5 gal size
15lb blueberries
8lb sugar
super ferment- 7tsp (mix of nutrient and energizer)
pectic enzyme- 1/4 tsp of the liquid
acid blend- 7tsp
