I just transfered my Fat Tire clone to the secondary. My OG was 1.056. I just took a reading from the secondary and ended up with 1.004 !!? Is that even possible? Here's the full story maybe my math is wrong somehow...
My initial reading from the secondary came in at 1.000 and I knew something was up.
I checked the Hydrometer and it's showing .996 w/80 degree water. It's calibrated at 60F so that means I get .998 at 60F, .002 below what it's supposed to be.
My secondary is showing 1.000 at 76 degrees which means to 1.002 at 60F. Add the .002 that the Hydrometer is off and you end up with 1.004. I don't know what the heck happened! It tastes fine.
