Just recently completed my sixth batch of an all grain cream ale.
Using BeerSmith it said my original gravity should be 1.051. Using a refractometer I had an OG of 1.053.
Considering the equipment I use and my lack of experience I'm pretty happy with that reading.
How far off is too far though? Are we talking +/- of .005 ok? or more like .001?
