Smurfe,


You are right of course, but as I have no experience with concentrates (I have never seen one over here in shops) I have no idea about the SG of concentrates.


So you are right of course that the must has to be diluted. But as you use water you will also loose taste and flavor and acid etc etc etc. Therefore I would indeed take a can of welches dilute it again to the amount prescribed on the recipe for the concentrate and then measure the SG.


You then have the SG for the juice, You know the SG for the must, so you can do the calculations on diluting the must with the new juice.


I think I was not detailed enough on what I was trying to say.


I was not trying to bring huge amounts of sugar extra in the must because sugar levels are already to high. But as I do not want to dilute with water, I would like to dilute with juice and that will also bring some extra sugar into the must, so therefore I told thunder to be carefull.
