Just trying to predict the end result of additions of various things to a must.
Is the relationship:
[(vol A x Brix A) + (vol B x Brix B)] / (vol A + vol B)linear?
In other words:
If I have 1 gallon of a solution at 10 Brix and 3 gallons of another solution at 20 Brix, should the resultant volume and sweetness be: 4 gallons at 17.5 Brix?

Yes,roughly, providing they are both solutions with water being the solvent. If your adding dry sugar to a must, you will not see an increase in volume equal to the volume of the sugar, it will be less.

I use this site to figure out the calcs:
There is also a Calulator you can download
