So I have the great spreadsheet in FAQ and the instructions. In the instructions it says that if I use fruit in primary then I can just skip rows 20-24 and the target fg will work out lower on the sheet. That seems to be true, but when I adjust the volume amounts of water and Juice in the top mead OG calculator to also account for the fruit volume so that I still hit my 6 gallon mark, the SG sky rockets way above what I want because it isn't taking into account the fruit below. I have read the instructions through several times and I am still missing something. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Let me take a look at it. I rarely add fruit to primary so there could be a problem that I never noticed.
