I am curious where those numbers come from. Generally, a hydrometer has a resolution of about +/- 0.001. Actually predicting a FG based on all the variables involved widens that range. For the most part, if I predicted a FG of 1.013, I would accept a value from 1.011 to 1.015 as being "on target".Supposed to have a FG reading of 1.0132-1.0144.
Estimating FG, best case, is an educated guess. It’s influenced by many different factors. Ball park is usually pretty good.Is this too low for what my FG should be or could it raise potentially?

Target Final Gravity

If they come up with a good reason, then maybe we should buy stock in the companies that sell hydrometers that report to that precision with accuracy.
When you get a chance, check your hydrometer in plain water at the calibration temperature (it's printed on the scale). It should read 1.000.Supposed to have a FG reading of 1.0132-1.0144. See pic below. I believe I’m there or damn close but want to
Make sure I’m reading the hydrometer correctly.
Most people fail to use precision in the correct manner and a lot of times use accuracy instead. You nailed it sir!You don't need the precision of four digits to the right of the decimal.I curious what beer recipe or recipe software gave that much precision.
do your readings at 60 degrees. 60 degrees is a "standard day" for engineering, science, charts, etc...
hmmm....never actually looked at mine....all my life, everything in physics was at 60'... when i was a pilot, all the performance charts were based on 60'Hydrometer readings should be done at whatever temperature the hydrometer is designed/calibrated for. Most new brewing hydrometers these days are calibrated to 68F (20C).
I have an older one and a newer one from Brewing America. Both are calibrated at 60F.Hydrometer readings should be done at whatever temperature the hydrometer is designed/calibrated for. Most new brewing hydrometers these days are calibrated to 68F (20C).

You know your talking in feet here right? Not degrees . Stupid Science.hmmm....never actually looked at mine....all my life, everything in physics was at 60'... when i was a pilot, all the performance charts were based on 60'
but 68' for hydrometers marketed for brewing does make sense...that's kinda the universal fermentation temp since ales are by far the most common style brewed I think

too much work. If they ain't gonna give me a degree key then I ain't gonna bother with keyboard trickery...°= (degree)

I have one calibrated at 68 and two precision ones both calibration temps are 60.hmmm....never actually looked at mine....all my life, everything in physics was at 60'... when i was a pilot, all the performance charts were based on 60'

Sure, you must mean the length of copper tubing in the chiller you built.y'all can figure out what I mean by " 60' "
Hybiscus made me laugh, thank you for that. Was that on purpose or a mobile autocorrect? Meniscus I believe is what you were going for.i'd say 1.014....figuring 2 points a line and the hybiscus, or whatever.....
edit: or 1.0138! you're golden!
I thought 60' meant 60 minutes. Maybe for the boil or something since it wasn't specified.Sure, you must mean the length of copper tubing in the chiller you built.
and 60" means seconds. Unless we're talking astronomy and it might mean arcseconds.I thought 60' meant 60 minutes. Maybe for the boil or something since it wasn't specified.

See, you even confused Google as to what this is..... meniusiawhy quarel over meniusia....

The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of tough, rubbery cartilage that acts as a shock absorber between the shinbone and the thighbone. It can be torn if you suddenly twist your knee while bearing weight on it. A torn meniscus is one of the most common knee injuries.Jan 6, 2022

I did think it funny and intentional. Especially when google thought it might have been meniscus which was part of the conversation.honestly when spell correct corrected it to that i thought it was funny, and left it misspelled for just that reason.....

Besides, I always have to look up minutiae when I try to spell it. Can't ever seem to get it right the first time around.

Thanks for the reminder, I haven't started yet.the day is young i've only had one drink!
