Conversion table.

Post by stevezx7r » Tue Feb 26, 2008 7:52 pm

Does anyone have a conversion table for gravity and temperature? What I need to know is if I measure the gravity of my wort at, for instance, 70C what is the REAL gravity?

Thanks.

I must admit, I find some of the conversions inaccurate at very high temps. I prefer to take a sample in a measuring cylinder and then put the cylinder into another vessel and fill that with running cold water to bring the temperature of the sample down. I then use one of the conversion tables at around 30/40 deg.

The Mrs got me a refractometer for Christmas and I find it really useful, easy to cool a sample and take a reading 8)

Using a hyrdometer I used the same link that rtd has posted.
