I tried to calibrate the hydrometer against water to test this theory and it read just slightly below 0.98. (probably at 0.97 level)
I cannot think why this might be occurring, other than I am using a fluted pint glass which is wider at the top and narrow at the bottom.
First of all am I right to think water should read 1.00. If I am right, then what in tap water would cause it to read 0.97? Should I just assume the hydrometer is .03 in error and add .03 to all readings?
