Hydrometer for Wine and Beer Making A very useful piece of equipment for the home brewer
Use a hydrometer such as this one to measure the specific gravity of your wine or beer in order to achieve the desired alcohol content and to check when the fermenting process has finished.
Hydrometers are very useful when moving beer or wine from a primary fermenter to a secondary vessel. When a constant reading is achieved it's possible to accurately tell that the first stage of fermentation has finished.
Supplied with useful instructions & diagram and plastic tube - which can be used as a trial jar if necessary. Potential alcohol reading goes up to 17%. The hydrometer is made of glass so is packaged carefully to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. Made in the UK.
Why use a Hydrometer?
In Home Wine and Beermaking, you can control the sweetness and alcohol content of your wine and beer by measuring the 'specific gravity' of the liquid with a hydrometer. It will help prevent bottling or transferring to keg too early.
