Hello. I just got a Brix/SG Refractometer with ATC. I followed the setup/calibration steps included with the refractometer. I also followed the steps recommended by BeerSmith but cannot get the numbers to match up. Here is what I found so far:
Unfermented wort
Hydrometer (corrected for temp)= 1.077
Refractometer = 16.1 Brix
Wort that is finished fermenting
Hydrometer (corrected for temp) = 1.020
Refractometer = 5.1 Brix / 1.020
When entering all of this into BeerSmith, NOTHING is adding up. Suggestions???
