Default Figuring the final alcohol

> Do you mind sharing it?
> Tee


OK here's what I came up with,
After thawing and squishing up the fruit I'll try my best to strain off
enough "clear" liquid to get an accurate hydrometer reading and since the
fruit is mostly liquid I believe it's safe to say 1 gallon of mushed up
fruit is equal to 1 gallon liquid.

To simplify the math if there's 2 gallons of wine with the OG being 1.100
and 2 gallons of mushed fruit at 1.050 then the OG on the overall batch
would be 1.075

Any suggestions or noticeable errors in the above?

Rick
