Subject: Gravity of Juice
|
This might be a dumb question, but I was adding a can of frozen apple juice
to a cider and wondered about the gravity contribution. The can label said
that it contained 28g sugar. Does this mean that adding the can of
concentrate is the same (for gravity) as adding 28g of sugar? Is there
anything else to consider since it is a fruit juice?
Thanks, Carter

I think sugar listed on the label would include all sugars, from
the fruit or artificial. But 28 grams sounds like the amount for
one serving. If so, you would need to multiply that by the total
number of servings.

Note, I'm not a cider maker, but the principles should be the same
as with breweing beer. With that said...
Was that per serving, or total for the can? That should basically be
it though. Just find the sugar content of the juice, and it should
be as easy as figuring out the equivalent gravity of adding the same
amount of straight sugar.
John.
