So, for instance, if you have 5 litres (1 gallon) of juice, with a reading of 1.040 and you want to add sugar to bring the reading up to 1.090, you can calculate the sugar required using the following formula:
(Sugar required – sugar present) x volume in litres
So in this case: (240 – 107) x5 = 665g, so 665g of sugar need to be added to 5 litres of juice.
