Hey, I'm making a blackberry melomel. I have fruit in my primary now, with pectic enzyme in there as well. It's happily fermenting away as I write. I'm considering adding some more blackberries in my secondary. A few questions I have are:
1) My OG was 1.082, and my expected FG is .994. What SG should I transfer to secondary, if I'm going to add the fruit? Should I wait for fermentation to end in the primary, or should I transfer at a middle SG (e.g. 1.020)?
2) I added the requisite amount of pectic enzyme for 5g. Should I add more when transferring to the secondary to account for the new fruit?
3) I used 1 campden tablet per gallon in in my primary. Should I add the same amount when I transfer to the secondary?
Thanks very much
