I know you do new a correction factor after it ferments because of the alcohol... but how about OG?
I have a salt water fish tank and I am using the same refractometer... I am pretty sure it works because my salt water fish tanks are kept at 1.025 using the meter...
I wanted to measure plan apple juice to make apfelwein and I got about 1.073... my refractometer only goes up to 1.070 so I am estimating just a bit...
However, I looked online and someone else said it should be at 1.043 ish...
Am I missing a correction factor? Is this refractometer crazy?
