So I have a cheap 30 dollar refractometer got off Amazon.com. I have it calibrated using distilled water. It has ACT. I have tried numerous times and this thing is useless. I want though to make sure that I'm not missing something or using it improperly. Issue is that it reads VERY high. I made a starter for example. The starter was made with 100 g dme per 1 litre water. This should result around 1.040 gravity yet my refractemeter reads just over 1.070. Another example... I brewed yesterday... OG per my hydrometer was 1.052... the refractometer read higher than the scales max in the viewing window. Anyone have any ideas?
