    I totally messed up my Sour Cherry Ale and forgot to measure SG. I also put my cherries in right from the start of fermentation. I've calculated the sugar content of the canned cherries and I would like to get all the information needed to add them to ProMash to add them as a sugar so I can get an idea of what my SG should be. Can anyone help me out?

    35.6394005 grams of sugar in 1 pound of cherries
    0.0785714286 pounds of sugar per pound of cherries

    0.540178572 pounds of sugar in 6.87500 pounds of cherries

    These are the cherries I used: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Oregon-Fruit-Products-Pitted-Red-Tart-In-Water-Cherries-14.5-oz/10319691 (x10)

    Thanks guys :)

    Thus you have added 0.54 pounds of extract to your brew length. Just add that number as glucose or sucrose.
