Triple Scale Hydrometer for Beer, Wine, Cider, and Mead
boomchugalug.com
Take the guesswork out of your brewing and winemaking with our precision-calibrated Triple Scale Hydrometer. This all-purpose hydrometer will work for beer, wine, cider and mead, providing accurate readings across all key fermentation stages.
Ideal for both beginner and experienced brewers, this 10-inch glass hydrometer measures:
- Specific Gravity (SG): 0.990 to 1.170
- Potential Alcohol By Volume (ABV): 0% to 22%
- Balling / Brix: 0 to 38%
Calibrated at 60°F, it’s the perfect tool for measuring Original Gravity (OG), Final Gravity (FG), and estimating ABV throughout your fermentation process.
Designed with clarity and precision, this hydrometer is a must-have for anyone looking to monitor and refine their fermentation projects with confidence.
Triple Scale Hydrometer FAQ
What is a triple scale hydrometer used for?
A triple scale hydrometer measures specific gravity, potential alcohol, and sugar content (Brix). It's used to track fermentation progress, calculate ABV, and determine when fermentation is complete.
What’s the difference between Specific Gravity, Brix, and Potential ABV?
Specific Gravity tells you the density of your liquid compared to water. Brix (or Balling) measures sugar content. Potential ABV estimates how much alcohol could be produced if all sugars are fermented.
Can I use this hydrometer for mead, cider, or wine?
Yes! This hydrometer is perfect for beer, wine, mead, cider, and any other home-fermented beverage. It’s one tool that works across your entire fermentation portfolio.
Is this hydrometer accurate at all temperatures?
It's calibrated at 60°F (15.6°C). If your sample is warmer or cooler, use a hydrometer temperature correction chart or digital tool for precise readings.
How do I properly take a hydrometer reading?
Fill a clear test jar with your liquid, gently lower the hydrometer, and let it float freely. Read the value at the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid) for an accurate measurement.
