I just got a cool refractometer. It has ATC. In fact, it is this model:

I calibrated it.
My Porter's OG (Measured via hydometer) read 1.059 (14.5 Brix)
Just checked the FG with the new tool and measured 1.025 (6 Brix)
Using several online calculators, that is an adjust FG of like 1.003, which seems awfully dry. It doesn't taste that dry and I mashed at 153.
Need to double with my hydrometer..but am I doing something wrong in reading this thing?
