I went to make a Pyment this evening. The Reisling juice had an
OG of 1.022. I was expecting something much much higher as in
the range of 1.050 to 1.090.

Does 1.022 seem right to you or were my expectations high?

I am a Mead guy and this is my first Pyment.

MUCH to low. Are you sure of the reading? If it is really this low, perhaps
the juice has already partially fermented. What is the source of your
grapes or juice?
