Digital Hygrometer Question

[coolcloo1019]

So I've had my digital hygrometer in the calibration bag since last night. It's only reading 71%. Should it be that far off from the factory? It's a good thing I used the calibration kit b/c right on the bag it said should be ready to use out of the box.

Give it another 12 hours to be on the safe side. Mine was off by 3 from the vendor.

hell, mine is 6... right on 6, it reads it constant, just always 6 below.

holy shit, make sure you follow the salt test instructions from the herfers guide to calibrate these things... I did the salt test twice and both times i got a 6 off reading, but i struck me as odd when i calibrated a second hydrometer and it read 6-7 off as well... plus, i noticed my RP i smoked earlier was a little dry... went back and followed the exact instructions to calibrate and the damn thing is only 1% off... somehow my careless calibrations gave me a horribly wrong result.

What calibration kit are you using?

[ReV]

no kit, just following guidlines...
