Hey guys,
I'm trying to get my hydrometer (calibrated at 60F) dialed in here. At 70F with distilled water, it reads 0.096. I put this into beersmith's calibration tool and it says the gravity is truly 0.096.
The beer I just brewed had an OG of 1.064 @ 80F. Corrected using beersmith, this would be 1.066.
Am i correct to assume that since my hydrometer is reading about 4 points low, that the actual OG would be 1.070?
Also, is there anyway to manipulate beersmith so that it takes into consideration that my hydrometer reads 4 points low?
