Hydrometer Correction Calculator
Correct hydrometer readings for any sample temperature. Enter your observed gravity, sample temperature, and hydrometer calibration temperature to get the true specific gravity.

Correct gravity readings by temperature
Hydrometers are calibrated at a specific temperature, often 15.6 C or 20 C. Warmer samples read lower than their true gravity, while colder samples read higher.
When to use it
Use this for pre-boil, post-boil, original gravity, and final gravity readings whenever the sample temperature differs from your hydrometer calibration.
