So I recently joined the broken hydrometer club.
I guess it was just a matter of time. I've had the same one since I started brewing and always got numbers from it that were expected. It also happens to match my new Tilt perfectly so I think both of those are pretty good.
I ordered a couple new cheap ones off Amazon. I don't think either one is accurate as they read <1.000 in water and way less than 1.000 in the light Brut ale I kegged yesterday.
They are also calibrated for 60F (supposedly) which is a pain since it is so far below room temp in my house.
Is there a known good/consistent/accurate brand out there?
Should I just try to find the temp that actually gives good readings with these cheap ones?
Other?
