Hyrdrometer temp questions

funkydrummer88 · Apr 9, 2008

So I have a hydrometer that I recently bought. It says to measure in 60 Degrees F. I don't have a fridge, so room temp is the best I can get it do. Is this a problem? Is there going to be an inaccuracy as far as abv goes?

use this to correct you hydrometer readings

it will help out a bunch

also test your hydrometer to make sure it is correct @ 60 deg

Also try to get your sample as close to 60F as possible. The further away you are the less accurate the correction.
