Basic question but here goes:
From reading other threads the hydrometer reading needs adjusting according to the liquid temperature. Mine is calibrated for 20c I think, what adjustment needs to be made per degree either way?
After checking my liquid temp I discovered (a week or two since) that it was as low as 14c not the 20c my room thermometer was displaying.
The reading of 1014 was therefore wrong I assume.
 
There's a handy calculator on the top-left of this website that will work this out for you. :thumb:
