Triple Scale Home Wine and Beer Hydrometer from Almost Off Grid.

Made by hydrometer production market-leader Stevenson-Reeves, this easy-to-read triple scale hydrometer is made of glass. It is 23 cm long and has 3 scales for measurement.

The coloured bands on the hydrometer indicate where to start and finish wines and beers, plus there is an indication for sweet/medium/dry finished wines. The hydrometer comes packed in a strong clear plastic tube along with an instruction leaflet.

As well as being used as a storage tube for the hydrometer when not in use, the plastic tube can also be used as a trial jar.

This Hydrometer Will Show You

• The starting gravity and sugar content of your beer wort.
• The progress of fermentation, by gradually sinking as the sugar turns into alcohol.
• Whether fermentation has stopped too early.
• When to bottle or keg.
• Take readings at the beginning and end of fermentation to determine alcohol content.

How to use your hydrometer

Make sure the hydrometer and trial jar are clean.

The jar should be placed on a level surface so that the hydrometer will float straight.

Place a sample of the liquid to be tested into the tube. You need to use enough liquid so that the hydrometer will float.

Lower the hydrometer carefully into the jar. Spin to remove clinging bubbles. Make sure the hydrometer is floating straight and that the stem is not touching the sides.

When the hydrometer is steady, read at the bottom surface of the liquid.
