Brewer’s Triple Scale Hydrometer

Description

Discover the benefits of using a hydrometer for brewing and distilling!

A hydrometer is a simple yet powerful tool that can help you measure the specific gravity of your liquid. By using a calibrated weight with a displacement, hydrometers can accurately determine the density of your brew.

Brewing hydrometers, specifically calibrated to the density of water (1.000), are perfect for brewers who want to monitor their brew’s progress.

If you’re serious about brewing, this brewer’s triple scale hydrometer is an excellent investment. This type of hydrometer not only measures specific gravity but also displays brix and potential alcohol percentage. By assuming that your final gravity reaches 1.000, you can accurately gauge your brew’s potential alcohol content!

To be noted, however, that the potential alcohol by volume reading on the triple scale hydrometer is only accurate if the yeast converts the maximum amount of sugar in the wash into alcohol. To get a true alcohol by volume reading, you will need to use the beer hydrometer to take a reading before the wash starts fermenting (known as the Original Gravity or OG) and a reading after it finishes fermenting (known as the Final Gravity or FG). You can then plug this into the following equation: ABV = (76.08 * (OG-FG) / (1.775-OG)) * (FG/0.794)
