I've got a new Keg King refractometer. I've used it on my current brew which has been in the fermenter for 10 days. The sg is 1.024 which is very sluggish to me (using Notto) so I compared it to my hydrometer which read 1.013.
I thought "Ah! my refractometer hasn't been calibrated" so I did a cal with de-mineralised water but it came up as 1.000 at 20 deg. Also checked the same water with my hydrometer which also came up as 1.000 at 20 deg.
Any advice on which to believe? I'm tempted to buy another hydrometer to compare it to. Any other way to tell?
Thanks,
Trev
