Hydrometer Reading - Question

[Jiffster]

How would you read this?

1.003?

 

[Yooper]

Yep! 1.003. Read it at eye level to be sure, but with a precision hydrometer it's close to call it 1.003.

1.003. Read from the surface of the liquid called the "meniscus", not the part where it sticks up the side of the hydro.

Thanks folks!

I have been reading mine wrong all along. Thank you.
