Re: Hydrometer VS. Refractometer

With the numbers you gave us, I calculate a F.G. of 1.004 with the refractometer tool on Northern Brewer's website. You gave us round numbers though, and with a refractometer you want to record to the nearest 0.1 if possible because the calculated F.G. is very sensitive to the initial and final brix values. When I first got my refractometer, I would always measure with both tools and convinced myself that the refractometer was accurate to within ~0.002 s.g. if used correctly.
