I just got a high gravity reading on my second batch of beer. I did check the hydrometer with water and got a solid 1.000 though. Did your "bad one" measure pure water correctly?

Nope that was the thing, I measured tapwater at 60F and it would sink so far that i couldnt even read the scale. So i pitched that one but i guess i learned that it is always a good idea to test first.
