Alcometer - Alcoholmeter Hydrometer (0-100%)
$5.99
A must have tool for distillers parrots or in measuring cylinders. Know exactly what percentage of alcohol your distillate is coming out at.
The 0-100% Alcoholmeter is a specialized glass instrument designed to measure the alcohol by volume (ABV) in high-proof, distilled spirits like vodka, whiskey, or moonshine. It determines alcohol content by measuring the specific gravity (density) of the mixture, with 0% representing pure water and 100% indicating pure alcohol.
Key Features and Details:
- Range: 0–100% alcohol by volume (ABV).
- Usage: It is designed specifically for "pure" alcohol-water mixtures and does not work accurately for liquids containing sugar or other ingredients, such as liqueurs or wine.
- Usage Tip: To take a reading, place the instrument in a tall, clear glass cylinder filled with the sample, ensuring it floats freely without touching the sides.
Difference from Brewing Hydrometers:
Unlike a standard brewing hydrometer, which is used for beer and wine to measure sugar concentration, the alcoholmeter is specifically for measuring the final strength of distilled spirits.
