Hey guys, there is something I'm just not getting.
I measured my Brix using a refractometer and got 12 before fermentation and 5.5 after.
If I use this calculator:
https://www.northernbrewer.com/learn/resources/refractometer-calculator/
I can covert each of these to SG so I get
12 Brix = 1.048 SG
5.5 Brix = 1.022 SG
So I'm like OH CRAP I didn't attenuate properly.
But if I use the next calculator on that page and punch in both numbers it tells my my FG is 1.005; which means I attenuated way more than what the SG is above.
I'm just confused how I'm supposed to be measuring this.
Any help would be amazing,
Thanks!
