HYDROMETER, Triple Scale for beer brewing and wine making

Triple scale 10" hydrometer to measure the specific gravity of your homebrew. This is used for beer and wine and will not work with distilled spirits. Comes in a plastic case with instructions. This scale will determine the direct percentage of sugar solids in liquids with a specific gravity greater than zero. Before you pitch the yeast, just put a sample of sweetened liquid containing alcohol in a test jar and float the hydrometer in the liquid. The hydrometer is blown glass and fragile so be careful not to let it bounce off the bottom or sides. Spin the hydrometer to release any bubbles that are sticking to it. At eye level read the number off the scale where the hydrometer emerges from the liquid. The plastic test jar and other props shown in the photographs are not included. The scale is about 10" long and 1/2" across the fat end. It is weighted with packed metal filings.
