Alcometer - 0-100% & Proof Scale with Instructions

Used to test the strength of your spirit.

An essential item in your home brew equipment to know exactly what percentage of alcohol your distillate is coming out at.

Comes in a storage tube that you can use to take the sample. Alternatively you can use a measuring cylinder.

Additives such as flavouring and liquid glucose will distort the hydrometer readings. Alcometers should only be used to test spirit before any additives such as flavouring or liquid glucose are mixed. The Alcometer is floated in the spirit to measure the alcohol content. As alcohol is thinner than water, the higher in strength the alcohol is, the further down the hydrometer floats. The reading is taken where the surface of the spirit cuts the scale of the hydrometer.

Full instructions are included.
