Beer Hydrometer Economy
Triple Scale Beer Hydrometer
Calibrated at 70 Degrees F. (made in USA)
| Ranges: Specific Gravity | 1.000 to 1.080 | |
| Balling or Brix | 0 to 20% Sugar by Weight | |
| Potential Alcohol By Volume | 0 to 10% |
A hydrometer measure the weight of a liquid in relation to water. The weight of water on the Specific Gravity scale is expressed as 1.000. As you add sugar or other soluble solids the number after the decimal point will increase, i.e 1.010 to 1.020 up to 1.080.
To use your Hydrometer put a sample of wort or beer in a hydrometer testing jar or similar clear container. Spin the hydrometer to dislodge air bubbles. At eye leve read the figures on the stem of the hydrometer where the surface of the liquid cuts across the stem. This figure will tell you how much sugar is in your wort and the potential alcohol.
