Triple Scale Hydrometer, Wine and Beer Makers Hydrometer

Description: Triple Scale Hydrometer, Wine and Beer Makers Hydrometer A hydrometer is a necessary component for home brewers to adjust and predict the integrity of their recipe with accurate readings of the sugar level as well as the specific gravity. A blown-glass hydrometer has a narrow, lengthy stem and a weighted bottom that is bulbous enough to allow for flotation. Inside the stem is a scale that measures specific gravity, or the weight of the beer or wine compared to the normal weight of pure water. Using this kind of measurement will tell the home brewer how far along the beer or wine has progressed so that any adjustments can be made before its finished. Using this device is a way to approximate an alcohol percentage potential when yeast pitching is occurring, estimate alcohol percentage by comparing before and after rates, and accurately determine the completion of the fermentation process or when it needs to stop. Floating this device in plain water will give you a specific gravity of 1.000, which is near the top of the scale. Because the majority of hydrometers are made to reflect accurate readings at around 60 degrees Fahrenheit, water that is slightly cooler or warmer may show varying but similar readings. Placing this meter into sugary fruit juice, or any other liquid containing sugar, will cause it to float higher than it did in plain water. For example, testing one gallon of water containing two pounds of dissolved sugar reveals a specific gravity rate of around 1.068. You can find this number by searching for the number 60 on the scale (which actually means 1.060) and determining at which tick mark the reading stops.The potential alcohol reading of your wine or beer is provided by the specific gravity reading. Rolling the meter around until you reach the PA scale gives you a nine percent PA reading. This means that if you fermented all of the sugars into alcohol, the result would give you a nine percent alcohol rate (according to volume).Using a hydrometer also allows you to discover the actual rate of alcohol in your finished batch by providing your first and last fermentation readings. Simply subtract the final fermentation reading from your first fermentation reading and you will know the percentage of alcohol in your beer or wine.
