Ay lads,
I bought a refractometer off ebay and configured it to 0.000 with distilled water. I did have to change the little dial so I thought it was working. I took an SG of 1.065 and then left it. When it came to check the FG it said 1.035. At this stage I thought that wasn't right so I checked the beer with my hydrometer. 1.012.
I just did a IIPA which started at 1.075 and my hydrometer says today 1.010 huge beer ay? Well my refractometer read 1.035ish so what the bloody hell?
