As I answered a few questions, I realized I did not completely explain the process in detail. When you add a known SG you must also provide the pre uncallibrated tilt reading as well. This lets the software know what the difference is. Lastly do not delete the 1.000 calibration that you originally did in distilled water, this is your reference, the tilt needs at least two points of reference to calculate the gravity.
I love the Tilt. I definitely need to snag a 2nd one for those times where I have 2 brews going in parallel. It happens more than I thought it would. Cheers Gary!
Note accurate enough for my taste, its definitely worse during the fermentation, crud builds in the same spot so calibrate it against a known specific gravity during fermentation is the most accurate representation of what is actually going on in the fermenter.
I have also find mine to be very accurate. It’s normally within a point, maybe I two, of the hydrometer and that’s just calibrating with distilled water straight out of the box.
@@chubbymermaidbrewing yea ive seen the flack they get online. I used distilled calibrated at 1.000 then added a ton of ice and calibrated temp at 32 and ive been good ever since. Only issue is heavy dry hopped beers or German ale yeast. The Krausen on those throws the tilt for a loop
Hi there, this tutorial makes way more sense! (and certainly not painful like Baron Brews). But my app looks different than yours and BB's. The IOS (V 15.3.1 on an iPhone 11) app looks different than in your tutorial (and Baron Brews). 1) It shows "pre-calibrated" vs "un-calibrated gravity both on the main screen as well as in the settings 2) It appears I can only set 1 extra set point (after calibrating in water). There are 2 spots but when I try to set a second set point the previous is overwritten. Ideally I'd like to set 6 set points as you suggest. Anyone have any ideas? I've emailed Baron Brews twice and have had no response. I have 2 Tilts and neither are that accurate and not of much use at this point and using the Tilt 2 app. Thanks in advance
Yeah i probably should do this video over again to explain it better, but you have to click the add or "plus sign" but before you have to click " get known sg then you can add the actual SG via your calibrated temp corrected hydrometer reading. Then once that number is entered then hit the plus sign. NOTE, you can only do this during an actual fermentation. Because you need a calibrated reading as you progress through the fermentation otherwise you will just overwrite the same reading. Hope that helps.
@@chubbymermaidbrewing Please make a new vid with better footage. My Tilt Pro is sitting in the fermenter 2 days and showing 1.030 already. I need some good simple footage about calibation my tilt pro with the metric system. The Tilt Website is very unclear.

Thank you for the great tip on how to properly calibrate! I’ve been struggling with my Tilt for a while now to get an accurate reading.

Thanks for the video. How accurate was it clean out of the box (pre-calibration)?

Unfortunately they are not all like that, you got lucky
