  Has anyone else noticed that the seal in the faucet that connects to the shank stinks of
  plastic bad?I had to remove the faucet because it was leaching into the beer in the line. I
  could taste it.

  I just bought another one Ill try to sell the salinty oneThat the difference between 1.033 and
  1.038 is like 30 brix it seems it would be very hard to get an accurate reading

  Resetting to zero sends the readings totally out of wack because sugar and salt have different

  The scale is wrong so using water doesn't help. You have to calibrate it to scale.From what I
  seen its showing 1.052 on my hydrometer and 1.057 on my refractometer
