Yea. I have a therometer, but even if 10 degrees only changes the reading by a point last night I brewed and my reading was 1.038 and I wanted 1.052. Even if it was 80 how much could it has changed.

Thanks for all the responses. Yea I know you're supposed to take it at 60 but how do you know its 60 and not say...66. I pitch at around 80. Let's say I take my readings at most 70. How much can that be off. You might be right to say my table isn't level but I have to lean the tube pretty far...

So I have made about 4 partial mash batches and now 2 AG. My hydrometer and gravity readings are off. I never quite hit an OG I'm always low. I.e. 1.045 instead of 1.052. I always hit my mash temps + or - 3 degrees. I've had different places mill my grain. I hit my batch sizes as well. Now...

I put it into the secondary today, but the yeast looked iffy, so I just dumped it. I know it probably would have been ok, but decided not to. Thanks for all the input.

I have looked around this site a while and I want to resue the Wyeast American Ale that i would use for both my IPA and Pale ale, I brewed the IPA first, is the yeast stressed, the OG was 1.060. I know that you are suppossed to go from less to more, but would it affect the little yeasties?

You can do a control on your hydrometer. Just put fresh water at 60 degrees and Specific Gravity should be 1.0000
