I used two differnet hydrometers and my refractometer on the same sample, everything is calibrated.

I also used two different online refrac calculators, the OG was 1.082 or 19.75plato. My beer has been fermeting for one week, the hydromter readings were 1.024 on one and 1.025 on the other- at room temp.

My refrac reading was 10, both calculators tell me my current gravity is 1.014

We have a ten point difference.

I know based on this recipe, mash temp and the taste of the smaple that the 24/25 is accurate. Target FG is 1.020.

Thoughts?
