The reason I ask is twofoldthreefold.

  1. I watched my gravity readings go up from 1.039 to 1.043 as I cooled my wort before I pitched.
  2. I noticed in the System page of my TiltPI, it says SG 15C/59F (default)
  3. When I cold crash, the gravity readings go up. When I enter the temperature and gravity reading in a hydrometer temperature adjustment calculator, the gravity is the same as before the cold crash.

It seems beyond reason that this device would need to be adjusted for temperature, since it is both a hydrometer and thermometer, but that appears to be the case.

Is the gravity reading from a Tilt Hydrometer adjusted for temperature?
