I was wanting to make a strawberry mead and was wondering if the 'sugar content %' box was accurate in how much sugar different fruits have.

I ask because I'm sensitive to sulfates so I'd rather not use them. I figured my only option was to use more sugar than the yeast can eat. Just looking for some way of knowing how much extra to use.

Thanks for the add! Beginner question. If I'm make a 1 gallon batch using d47 that should do 14% , using the mead calculator what target abv should I shoot for so there is sweetness left assuming the d47 actually dies at 14%?
