I've always read that using distilled water will give you the most accurate reading of 1.000 at 60*F. But that reading had to be read below the meniscus where the liquid cuts across the stem of the hydrometer.
But both of my hydrometers: my regular brewing hydrometer .990 - 1.170 and my "lab grade" hydrometer 1.000 - 1.073 both read 1.000, at 60*f using distilled water.
Does anyone else have the same situation?
Not that it's that big of a deal, but I like to be as accurate as possible.
