Taking an hydrometer reading from a carbonated beverage = fail. It must be flat.

I confess...I've done it

since we are all coming clean


I have a crush on Laurel

:blushes:

I was going to with the bud light, but I figured that would be out of line. Drinking bud light out of a hydrometer tube = ok; taking a hydrometer reading of budlight = FAIL!.

p.s. what was the FG of PBR? 1.000?

I ended up getting 1.010 which surprised me, but I was a little so maybe that had an effect on things.. But as Death says you can't take a hydrometer reading from carbonated beer.

Now I really feel stupid. Trying to take an F.G. reading from PBR= sad Not knowing that will fail= more sad. O' well you can't win them all can you

I like it in the can.

take a refractometer reading, and correct it; maybe that will help?

well, here's the data:

Budlight -- hydro reading = 1.012 refracto reading = 3.9 brix

p.s. please don't kick me out of HBT! I won a bronze for an American brown ale!

p.s.s. am I the only one that's taken a refracto reading of budlight?

I have an affair going with Stroh's.
EDIT-> What no Stroh's Fans!!

Back in college we used to have a "bad movie night" where everyone would bring a sixer or twelve pack of the cheapest beer they could find that no one had tried yet. Of all those beers, I think Stroh's was probably my favorite.

My goto beer if I don't have craft within reach is PBR, or Coors light as an alternative.
