Hydrometer adjustments

[AlanManley]

Quick question. My hydrometer is calibrated to 20°C.

By using the calculator on here if the wort is at 63°C and reading 1030 it's actually 1045.

Can anyone confirm if this is correct? Or have I read this all wrong?

Yep!

I get the same result. 1.045 :thumb:

I'm glad about that... it just seemed a huge jump was all.

Thanks for clarifying. 😁

On the basis of "seeing is believing", do a Specific Gravity on a sample from the hot tap and then from the cold tap and you will witness the significant difference that makes the calculation look a lot more real.

I always reckon it's worth doing a check via the Calculator when you get past a ten degree difference ... :thumb:

... under ten degrees brings the reading into "My Operator Error" range!

Yeah I agree if its 5-10 degrees out then it isn't worth worrying about.
