I made my must last night for a 3 gallon melomel. I didn’t have the yeast last night, so I’m going too pitch today. I did, however, take a reading and it was 1.044. I added the fruit last night and checked the sg again today and now it reads 1.031. It makes sense to me that it would have dropped due to the addition of the fruit and possibly the water content diluting it. Am I right in thinking this? If so, how do I calculate my fg? Is it based on my reading from last night or today?
