So i have read online that the tilt is not accurate, especially during the beginning of fermentation due to the krausen. The tilt showed 1.043 whereas my hydrometer showed 1.061 (the recipe called for an OG of 1.052) and I was surprised at how different the OG was compared to my hydrometer at room temp. This is my 10th brew and I did the calibration in water but perhaps i need to do it again? I am guessing i will have to take a hydrometer reading in tandem to see how the FG compares to the tilt.
It is disappointing to see such a difference between the tilt and hydrometer, as a scientist i love seeing the data display in real time!
