All,
I am new to having a refractometer and I am seeing quite a bit of difference in the FG compared to my hydrometer. I zeroed my Refracometer with my RO water. The wort sample was taken from the hydrometer beaker. The wort sample was 66*F. The hydrometer read 1.014 and the refractometer read 1.022. That is quite a diffference am I doing something wrong. I took 3 samples and cleaned it each time. The beer doesn't taste sweet so I am apt to believe the hydrometer.
