I've been finding that my hydrometer readings are consistently reading about 10 points too low. I know that having the wort too warm will bring the temp down a little, but there's no way that it's that warm. Also, when I measure final gravity, the readings also seem to be about 10 points too low. I've already replaced the hydrometer once, thinking that it was faulty, but the new one is giving me the same readings. Also, the apparent attenuation always appears to be the same, so I'm not really worried, just weirded out.
It's possible that I just have bad luck with hydrometers, but I get the feeling that I am doing something else wrong. Any ideas on what could be causing these numbers to be so far consistently off?
