No Aleman has the Milwauke! ! I have had the opportunity to use it side by side with a Hanna one and mine was more accurate . . . But then the Hanna hadn't been calibrated in 6 years
. . . Once that job was done they read identically.
Apart from the Hanna being white and the Milwauke green there is little to tell them apart. . . Both made in Romania . . . Probably the same factory.
Be prepared to continue to use your hydrometer until you get you correction factor zeroed in. That will give you a better more accurate result.
Sean Terril has a modified formula for fermenting wort correction that gives better results than a lot of the calculators.
You can make up a check solution using sucrose. I can't remember the exact weights and volumes but I have. posted it on here before.
Thankyou for saving me a few bob
Done 5 brews now and its a great bit of kit thanks again Aleman for the rec.
