I remember again why I should calibrate that darned hydrometer

Yeah, the old one that doesn't have a visual calibration guide.  As we're approaching dry I've switched to the short scale hydrometer (+5 to -5) and it's pretty apparent there's a 2 or 3 Brix disagreement.  3, probably.  I'll add an "adjusted Brix" column to the tracking spreadsheet, and note in posts which device I'm using.  Begorah.

(The also probably explains the diference between the initial refractometer readings and the initial hydrometer readings.)
