Description
Hydrometer
Triple scale hydrometer. This hydrometer is a glass bulb that is weighted and floats in a testing jar. The hydrometer will tell you approximately how much alcohol was made in the fermentation process. The scale on the Mile Hi Distilling hydrometers is called a triple scale which gives you three scales. A brix reading, a specific gravity reading, and an approximate potential alcohol reading. Hydrometers will not work in a distilled spirit.

Well packaged, much nicer than the ones available locally, easy to read.

I have been using this product for a few weeks now and haven’t had any problems.

Expect nothing less than the Best from Mile High put a small ball of copper packing in the bottom of your beaker and it won’t break if you slip and drop it in by mistake.

Great tool and works extremely well before, during and after fermentation. It comes with a small chart that gives you the necessary information for temperature correction and potential alcohol by volume. To calculate your alcohol by volume use the formula below.
Specific Gravity – Final Gravity multiply your answer by 131 = ABV%
