Hi,
I'm using a Tilt Hydrometer for the first time and I have a couple of issues.
First, I calibrated the Tilt per instructions with water, 10% and 20% sugar water. I verified the solutions with my refractometer and they were spot on, as was the Tilt (no calibration required). I just brewed a double IPA today and my refractometer and hydrometer say the SG is 1.076. The Tilt says it is 1.063. Any idea why the big discrepancy? I do oxygenate my wort with pure oxygen and an aeration stone, which creates quite a bit of foam on top; could that be throwing the Tilt off?
Second, I realized too late that my old Raspberry Pi 2 does not have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. I'm ordering a new one, but in the meantime, I'm trying to use the Tilt 2 app to track my fermentation. I have the beer named, 'use device logging' enabled and I've clicked 'Start New Log. It's creating the .csv file, but it's only logging data when I'm actively in the app; as soon as my phone turns off, it stops logging data (see screen shot). It's my understanding that this feature should log data every fifteen minutes (my selected option). Any idea what I'm doing wrong or how to get this to log data every fifteen minutes?
Thanks for your help!
