I just squeezed out 3 gal of seckel pear juice. It is really thick like apple sauce. So thick my hydrometer will not sink and take a reading. What should I do?
Thanks

Run it thru a Centrifugal Juicer.
Next question.
What should you have done?
So if I get a 50ml of juice and mix 50ml of water then take a reading?If you dilute some with equal parts juice and water, you can take a reading of that and scale it. If you're trying to get SG, it scales linearly (e.g. a 1:1 dilution at 1.030 is 1.060 undiluted). If you're measuring in Brix, this calculator will do the conversion for you.
So if I get a 50ml of juice and mix 50ml of water then take a reading?
I added 100 ml each of juice and water. Still a little hard to float it. So I added another 100 ml of water. So now I measure a good reading of SG 1.010. So triple it, does that make it 1.030 undiluted?Exactly. Then just double the reading if you're doing SG. If you need to thin a little more, add another 50ml water and triple the reading instead, etc.
I’ve added campden taps and the pectin to the juice. Is it ok to let it sit for a few days and let the pulp break down more? Will the juice go bad by not pitching yeast soon?
