Hi all
Strange one here and any advice would be great.
Ive just finished fermenting a high abv ipa. SG 1064.
Four weeks in the fermenter and I have taken a reading with my refractometer. This reading was 1023
I was disappointed this was too high so double checked it with my hydrometer and this read 1011. There is quite a bit of difference here. I have checked the calibration on my refractometer and this is spot on. Ive check the readings several times from several samples and both come out the same
Has anyone any ideas on why the readings would be so different. And which one would you go with?
