sigh i made it to the transfer and i hit the kettle lid. It hit my hydrometer sample... well. RIP new hydrometer
If anyone wants a good hydrometer I suggest brewing America brand. I bought mine full price and plan to get another
looks like it had a good brew session, and just exhausted after.....lol
that's cool never knew one was made. do you own one?
my 4 year old one is still alive, but i wanted one with a very exact scale. my old one is a cheap one you would get with a homebrew kit.
If you brew long enough, you're going to break a hydrometer. It is was it is and luckily they're fairly inexpensive.If anyone wants a good hydrometer I suggest brewing America brand. I bought mine full price and plan to get another
that's a bummer they don't just sell the hydrometer by itself because it looks really nice. I've had bad experiences with glass grad. cylinders like that.. I only use plastic now with a nice scar across my forearm for my reason
Thank you for reaching out to us. We no longer sell the Thermo-hydrometer as a solo item. We found most folks liked having an extra test jar on hand, so the sales velocity of the Thermo-hydrometer as a solo item was not strong enough to continue to carry it as a solo item. However, it is a great tool for brewing and we hope you give it a try and find you love working with it! By the way, it is hand-crafted here in America by multi-generational glassblowers. We are proud to have brought back hydrometer making to America!

I'd use a refractometer for measuring any wort gravities before fermentation. Then a hydrometer for FG sample(s), and in the comfort of a (kitchen) counter.
I prefer using the clear plastic (acrylic) hydrometer jars with a large footing. Pretty much unbreakable and much more stable. They'll may develop crazing (thin, spiderweb cracks) over time, but remain just as useful for the job.
why would you use 2 different tools for measuring gravity? I would expect to use the same for both measurements, negating any possible calibration error of the devise. The actual gravity is less important than the measured difference between OG and FG.I'd use a refractometer for measuring any wort gravities before fermentation. Then a hydrometer for FG sample(s)

Basically what @Dr_Jeff said above, in #21.why would you use 2 different tools for measuring gravity? I would expect to use the same for both measurements, negating any possible calibration error of the devise. The actual gravity is less important than the measured difference between OG and FG.
The best solution is, . . . . . don't use one.
