Should a salinity refractometer with a specific gravity scale be OK for testing gravity of wort?
I figured that the specific gravity of a liquid would be the same whether it was a saline solution or sugar.
However, I used a salinity refractometer for testing my wort and it said that it was over 1.070, I then used two different hydrometers to double and triple check, but found 1.050 on both hydrometers.
I calibrated all three instruments with distilled water.
