Hey Now!
How's everyone doing on this Friday??? So I have been having some hydrometer issues. In the past year, I have had 3 different hydrometers. I have been using the round digital Xikar and I hate it. Within the 1st week, the first one would not calibrate so I returned it and got a new one. I calibrated 2nd one and it seemed to be working well and then it just crapped out. So now I am on my third one and it doesn't seem to be holding. I calibrated it like the rest of them by doing the salt test. After 4 different attempts it seemed to be spot on. I would check it 2 times a day by looking through the glass top. Then one day I checked it and it read 135 degrees and 2% humidity. As, I moved the humi from the shelf to the table, it changed again and read 2 degrees and 55% humidity. During all this shiz, I called and emailed Xikar many many times and never received one response. So I am not a Xikar fan at this point.
Now that I got this off my chest, what brands of hydrometers does everyone recommend???
Oh and I am using the Xikar crystals and sponge.
