    stream API battery

    it expects voltage. My DIY tilt hydrometer converts its voltage ADC to percentage based on empirical experiments and calculations that are specific to my device. Where is it documented (or can you just tell) what the voltage range is so I can convert back and it'll be displayed correctly? Thanks!

    need translation of hydrometer readings

    I have just put my latest brew into the keg and I need someone to tell how me how to translate the attached photos. The readings are as follows if I am reading this correctly: O.G. 1.074 F.G. final reading 1.006 The taste is good and in a week I should be able to enjoy it. I seem to have a...

    What is your approach to degas beer for a Gravity reading?

    Question for those fermenting under pressure - how do you degas your beer sample to take a gravity reading? My hydrometer requires about 7 ounces to float. Have been tossing beer from glass to glass for an eternity, and still have bubbles…

    Gravity went UP during secondary fermentation??

    Hi Folks, So it seems like my hydrometer reading when I racked from primary to secondary read 1.011 and then from secondary to keg my reading was like 1.013 or so. Is this possible? I can safely say in 5-6 years of homebrewing this has never happened to me. Seems like this wouldn't be...

    Refractometer?

    I gather from what I've read that a refractometer is essentially a replacement for a hydrometer, right? Just an alternate method of measuring specific gravity? What would be the benefits/downsides of going refracto vs. a hydro (other than the obviously higher cost of the former)?
