Two brews ago I calibrated my Tilt hydrometer in water using TiltPi interface because it seemed off. There was a .032 difference between the uncalibrated SG (1.032) and the calibrated water SG (1.000).
After that on my next to last brew in July the OG seemed accurate as it was within a couple hundred points of what a floating hydrometer measured (1.063 vs 1.061) however the FG on the Tilt was in the low 1.020s while the FG on the floating hydrometer read 1.013.
On my last batch a couple weeks ago I have the same pattern where the 1.066 OG was the same on the Tilt and on the floating but the Tilt has leveled off at 1.024 while the floating is reading 1.014. I pulled out the Tilt and checked it in water and it shows 1.000 then I put in back in the fermenter and it is showing 1.026 which is a pretty big difference from 1.014.
I'm curious if other Tilt users have experienced similar behavior. I sent basically the above info to tilt customer support but haven't heard back yet.
