Pure malt final gravity

[Toxicdonkey]

I'm a bit confused, I have used my Tilt for 2 brews, on both the gravity has raised over the first couple of days. Also using some malt extract from Holland and Barret the final gravity seemed to stop at 1.014.. can anyone shed some light on this.

Seems fairly reasonable to me if I'm correct thats about a 77% attenuation, from the graph the Original Gravity was approximately 60 points..
100*(60-14)/60=77%

Not sure how the Tilt measures gravity but perhaps the yeast in suspension at the height of fermentation would cause a higher reading?

Could the initial rise possibly be due to CO2 bubbles clinging?

any type of motion in the fermenter will cause a tilt to throw out some strange readings so as posted above its most likely due to the initial peak fermentation. I have a tilt and noticed some strange numbers too so I dont actually track gravity anymore just use it for readings on a daily basis.

Thanks guys.. Much appreciated..
