Hi all
I recently bought a cheapish refractomer on eBay, and I am getting conflicting SG readings against my trusty Coopers Hydro which I have been using for years.
Here they are
I just took a reading from a batch I just put into the fermentor and got a reading of 1051 with my hydrometer and a reading of 1046 with the refrac. Should I just turf the rafrac and get another one, or can I re-calibrate it to the hydro ie, hydro sample 1051, adjust refrac sample to 1051? Although I dont think its that simple.
Any help from others using refractometers would be helpful.
Cheers
