Is this a standard triple scale or a narrow band hydrometer. I generally use several different hydrometers and minimize my use of triple scale in favor of more accurate, limited scale in-series hydrometers. If I remember right they go: 0.700-0.810 by 0.001 gradations 0.800-0.910 by 0.001 gradations ...

Hydrometer readings are more accurate than a refractometer during fermentation, even with correction. Each beer density is different, same with wine and mead. I don't use the refractometer past the initial brix reading most of the time.

Holy cats!

Dang Brent, that sounds like work! Sorry I didn't call, got busy and the day got away from me in a hurry.

I'll be over at Lyn's house tonight.

Brent, if you're brewing and don't mind company I'd like to stop on by as well.

Nope, got all of them but was unsure if I was right on the passes.

I'm a wingshooter so I'm used to picking moving targets out of a group of other moving non-targets.

LOL, totally different brain side than everyone else (of course it may be the bottle of mead) but, when boo boo appeared I focused on him.

Cheers,
