I like the idea of doing a group calibration to see how close our
hydrometers or refractometers really are. Or how well we can read them.
Or how well we can measure and mix a solution.
Unless we can calibrate at 59F we will have to do a temperature correction
(see the posting by Steve Piatz on the mnbrewers discussion forum)
at 68F (room temp?) the hydrometer reading is already off by 0.9

One thing about being first, you can be dead wrong but you're still
first!! Personally, I think this is a great experiment to try just for
kicks. It would also be interesting to gather all the hydrometers and
refractometers and see how well they are actually calibrated.

table for converting Brix to Specific Gravity?
