Hey,
I want to make a fruited Gose, but I think the best way to impart the fruit flavor I want is to add either puree or fresh fruit or something into the primary a few days after fermentation has started. My question is, if I'm adding it in to the primary, what's the best way to calculate the actual OG of the beer, given that the puree will be adding sugars post-brew day? If I know how many grams of sugar are in the puree, would I just add that to my mash calculator to estimate the OG? Or take an OG reading on brew day and then add however many grams of sugar to it for a more accurate reading?
Thanks.
