User questions & answers

Question:	Is this accurate in the 6% abv range
Answer:	Yes, this alcoholmeter is accurate at the 6% range although perhaps the better tool for the job would be our Brewing America Triple Scale Kit if you are brewing. Reach out to us anytime. We are always glad to help!
Question:	Does this work well for testing tinctures and infusions
Answer:	It only reads alcohol proof and Tralle. It’s meant to tell you how much alcohol is in a solution. Sugars and bubbles mess with its accuracy. Joe this helps
Question:	Doesn't matter what I put int he test jar. Hydrometer drops to the bottom
Answer:	Hello. Is your alcoholmeter broken or cracked and filling with the liquid you are testing? Alcoholmeters are measuring the density of the liquid, with distilled alcohol being less dense than water. So for your alcoholmeter to drop to the bottom of a test jar it would mean your test liquid would be less dense than 200 proof distilled alcohol or the glass is broken or cracked, allowing liquid inside. What liquid are you testing? All of our hydrometers and alcoholmeters come with instructions, including HOW to test your new hydrometer or alcoholmeter in distilled water to ensure it is accurate. All of our Brewing America hydrometers and alcoholmeters are NIST Traceable and we guarantee accuracy within +/- .002. We are always happy to help customers and are glad to help you work through any issues.
Question:	Does the kit include any calibration documentation or test certificates
Answer:	Although we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee and the Brewing America Pro Series hydrometers are all N.I.S.T Traceable, they do not come with a calibration document nor test certificate because they are not N.I.S.T. Certified. However, every Brewing America Pro Series hydrometer is individually tested and we stand behind our product. The Brewing America Pro Series Hydrometer Test Kits make the high-quality N.I.S.T. Traceable hydrometers available to consumers at an affordable price.

Product description

This proof and tralle hydrometer measures the alcohol content of distilled alcohol or spirits with a specific gravity less than 1.000. The tralle scale has a range of 0-100 and measures the actual alcohol percentage. The proof scale has a range of 0-200 and measures the proof of the spirits or distilled alcohol. The hydrometer is calibrated to give an accurate reading when the liquid is at 60F (15.6C). to use the hydrometer, fill a Test jar with the sample. You can use the tube that the hydrometer comes with or purchase a Test jar separately. Place the hydrometer in the liquid making sure that it is completely suspended and not touching the sides of the Test jar. Take the reading on the scale at the surface of the liquid. This hydrometer is only designed to provide a general indication of alcohol content. A more precise measurement requires the use of specialized equipment. This hydrometer is also designed to only Test 'Pure' distilled spirits such as whiskey and vodka. It is not designed to be used with liquors that have high concentrations of sugar or other ingredients such as rum, kahlua, jagermeister, cordials and liqueurs.

Answer:	The hydrometer does not work in drinks that have sugars in them. You may be adding sugar and not get an accurate reading. The best way to do this would be to know the proof of your base alcohol and use ratio mixing to determine your alcohol content.
Question:	Can I measure the amount of alcohol in a sweet liquor with this tester
Answer:	No, a Proof and Tralle alcoholmeter will not measure alcohol proof when sugar is present in the liquid during the test. Proof & Tralle Hydrometers are only functional in distilled liquids only.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you need an abv hydrometer, or can you just go by ingredient composition and dates on tested recipes? thank you

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use it to test alcohol in Arak
Answer:	Yes.
Question:	Can i use this to test homemade hard cider
Answer:	Yes it will work fine if all the sugar has been fermented out or the cider has been distilled. If the cider tastes sweet, the instrument will not read accurately. You should take your readings before you add sugar to sweeten. A triple scale hydrometer might be better, so that you know what your Original Gravity (OG) reading was and what your Final Gravity (FG)was. If you started with 14% sugar OG and you now have 0% sugar (FG) you have made 14% alcohol.
Question:	We make herbal medicines that require an alchol base like Vodka or Everclear and at times need to test the proof or alcohol content will this work
Answer:	Yes, as long as the product you are proofing doesn't contain any solids - this should work for you.
Question:	Can this be used to test the alchohol in wine
Answer:	It's typically for distilled spirits. This is the one you need for wine. http://www.amazon.com/Hydrometer-Triplescale/dp/B0064O94I0/ref=sr_1_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1384175905&sr=1-1&keywords=hydrometer

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this kit also work to check the ABV of whisky
Answer:	In my opinion a hydrometer of this type is only useful for measuring the specific gravity of the liquid prior to distillation.
Question:	what temperature is it calibrated to
Answer:	There is a chart that tells you what water temperature to adjust your specific gravity readings to. Such as, if your water temperature is 70 degrees it tells you to add .001 to your reading
Question:	Will this work for maple syrup
Answer:	I assume the syrup will be added to the wort. In this case yes it will. It will probably measure pure syrup too
Question:	will this tell me the alcohol content of some shine i made
Answer:	I will say no but I think an Alcoholmeter will do the trick! I suggest you search for this product on Amazon. Hydrometer Alcohol Meter Test Kit: Distilled Alcohol American-Made 0-200 Proof Pro Series Traceable Alcoholmeter Tester Set with Glass Jar for Proofing Distilled Spirits

Different Kinds of Hydrometers

A hydrometer is an instrument used to measure the density of a liquid as compared to that of water. Hydrometers usually consist of a calibrated glass tube ending in a weighted glass sphere that makes the tube stand upright when placed in a liquid. The lower the density of the liquid, the deeper the tube sinks. Depending upon the intended use hydrometers can vary in size and will feature different types of scales.

What are the different kinds of hydrometers and when do you use them?

1. Specific Gravity hydrometers can be used for almost any liquid. Specific Gravity is a dimensionless unit defined as the ratio of density of the material to the density of water. If the density of the substance of interest and the reference substance (water) are known in the same units (e.g., both in grams/centimeter3 or pounds/feet3), then the specific gravity of the substance is equal to its density divided by that of the reference substance (water =1 grams/centimeter3).

2. Baume hydrometers are calibrated to measure specific gravity on evenly spaced scales; one scale is for liquids heavier than water, and the other is for liquids lighter than water.

3. Brix (Bx) hydrometers is for determining the percentage of weight by sucrose. One degree Brix is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution and represents the strength of the solution as percentage by weight (% w/w) (strictly speaking, by mass). If the solution contains dissolved solids other than pure sucrose, then the °Bx only approximates the dissolved solid content. The °Bx is traditionally used in the wine, sugar, fruit juice, and honey industries.

4. API hydrometers, also known as The American Petroleum Institute index, is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water. If its API gravity is greater than 10, it is lighter and floats on water; if less than 10, it is heavier and sinks. API gravity is thus an inverse measure of the relative density of a petroleum liquid and the density of water, but it is used to compare the relative densities of petroleum liquids. For example, if one petroleum liquid floats on another and is therefore less dense, it has a greater API gravity. Although mathematically, API gravity has no units (see the formula below), it is nevertheless referred to as being in 'degrees'. API gravity is gradated in degrees on a hydrometer instrument. The API scale was designed so that most values would fall between 10 and 70 API gravity degrees.

5. Alcohol Proof hydrometers are used for distilling and rectifying and for waste liquors.

6. Isopropyl Alcohol hydrometers measure percent by volume of isopropyl alcohol.

7. Sodium Chloride hydrometers measure saturation and concentration of sodium chloride.

8. Salt Brine hydrometers are graduated in percent of either saturation of sodium chloride in water, or by weight of sodium chloride.

9. Calcium Chloride Salometers (a hydrometer for indicating the percentage of salt in a solution) are for determining the percentage of saturation, specific gravity or freezing point of CaCl2.

10. Draft Survey hydrometers determine the apparent density of sea/fresh water.

The cylinder should be at least 1 inch taller than the hydrometer with a minimum diameter of 50 mm.

When measuring with a hydrometer you should have an idea of what reading you are looking for. If the reading does not fall within the range of the hydrometer you should use a hydrometer that includes the expected reading. Adjust the range up or down depending on if the hydrometer sinks or is overly buoyant.

What is the proper way to store hydrometers?

Hydrometers should be stored in clean, dry, safe places. They also should not be subjected to extreme temperatures.

Product description

Similar in use to a brewing hydrometer, but measures in a different range (0-100% alcohol and 0-200 proof).

The use of an alcoholmeter is very straight forward.

Pour a sample of the spirit to be tested into a tall glass or high chemical tolerant plastic cylinder, leaving enough space for the alcoholmeter to disperse the liquid.

In order to obtain the most accurate reading possible, try to ensure that the liquid is as close to 68 degree F (20'C) as possible, as this is the temperature that the alcoholmeter has been calibrated to (should your alcoholmeter be calibrated to a different temperature, which should be stated on the meter, ensure that your liquid is at the quoted temperature).

Place your alcoholmeter in the sample and spin it do dislodge any bubbles that may have been in the liquid, and could potentially cause the alcoholmeter to float slightly higher, resulting in a low reading.

Read the mark where the liquid level crosses the stem of the alcoholmeter.

This is your percentage alcohol by volume.
