I've got a batch of IPA that has been in the primary for 2 weeks and the current hydrometer reading is 1.010 yet using a refractometer the brix % is 7.1. I've looked up a few different equivalency charts for brix->specific gravity and my readings do not match up??? I've also heard that brix readings are not accurate after fermentation has ended. Is this what is going on? I would much rather use my refractometer to do readings as it is much easier for me to read and use, but if a hydrometer is the way to go then I guess I'll conform.
Just wanting to here some feedback from the experienced brewers.
