Review on Complete Hydrometer Alcohol Tester Kit for Brewing Beer, Wine, Sprits & Kombucha - Triple Scale Meter, Hardcover Case, Test Jar, Brush, Cloth, Carry Bag Included by Dave Hammon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Affordable and accurate but not the best for kombucha

We started brewing kombucha as a hobby and wanted to find out how much alcohol it contained. We understand it's usually less than half a percent, about the same as a ripe fruit, but we wanted to be able to test this. Unfortunately, after ordering this kit and doing some research, it appears that counting alcohol in kombucha is not as straightforward as in other fermented beverages, as kombucha is a more complex chemical conversion than the standard sugar to ethanol found in beer and bugs. This kit seems like a really good kit, the only thing stopping me from giving it 5 stars is the fact that it can accurately measure the alcohol content of kombucha. Overall, "Alcohol Hydrometer - Brewing Tool for Brewing Beer, Wine, Spirits and Kombucha - Our ABV Tester Kit Includes Triple Meter with Hard Carrying Case, 250ml Test Can, Cylinder Brush, Cloth and Carry Case" seems to be a good set and is perfect for most fermented beverages.

Pros
  • Checking, measuring and testing
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
