I've got a Tilt Hydrometer in a batch of beer right now. Seemed like the SG was stalling so I stirred it up this morning. Prior to stirring, I got an SG of 1.044 at 69 degrees Fahrenheit. After stirring it up, I checked the Tilt hydrometer and it showed 1.050 at 69 degrees Fahrenheit.
I'm thinking that there may be a couple reasons for this.
Thoughts on how to fix it?
I'm thinking that there may be a couple reasons for this.
- The wort around the Tilt was actually at 1.044 and when I stirred it up, the SG equalized with the other wort that was higher than the wort that was around the Tilt.
- An air pocket, yeast, trub, or something else could have become attached to the Tilt hydrometer causing an incorrect SG reading.
