Triple Scale Hydrometer

A hydrometer is a necessary component of the beer making process that allows homebrewers to adjust and predict the integrity of their recipe by providing accurate readings of the beer sugar level as well as its specific gravity.

A blown-glass hydrometer has a narrow, lengthy stem and a weighted bottom that is bulbous enough to allow for flotation purposes. Inside the stem lies a scale that measures specific gravity, or the weight of the beer compared to the normal weight of pure water. Using this kind of measuring device tells the homebrewer how far along the beer has progressed in the fermentation process so that any necessary adjustments can be made before irreversible problems arise.

Using this device is a convenient and affordable way for homebrewers and winemakers to:

• *Approximate an alcohol percentage potential when yeast pitching is occurring
• *Estimate alcohol percentage by comparing before and after rates
• *Accurately determine the completion of the fermentation process or when it needs to stop

SG scale 0.80-1.150; potential ABV scale 0-16%; sugar per liter scale 0-34. With color coded scales.

Comes with hard pack case for protection.
