Review on ๐Ÿท Accurate Triple Scale Hydrometer and Glass Test Jar Kit for Wine, Beer, Mead & Cider Testing - Measure ABV, Brix, and Gravity by Josh Elkins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Well done, seems to be working great? Can't really say

I bought this for a batch of wine I was making and honestly I can't figure out HOW to use it. The details are well done. The tracks are clearly visible. But what the hell do they mean? There is an attached "manual" that tells me absolutely nothing. It looks like the hygrometer manuals on the web list other settings? That said, my wine was 1100 6 days after being released. After 18 days it was 1045. According to the attached table, its alcohol content increased from about 14% to 6% after 3 days of fermentation. weeks. The? Is it possible that the more the wine ferments, the LESS alcohol it becomes? It TASTES more alcoholic so I have no idea what's up with that useless counter. But it is beautiful and floats in liquid. I see no point in penalizing a product for not fully understanding how it works, but given the lack of instructions, how can I know if it works? The differentiator is that there is NO documentation explaining what's included, other than a diagram that doesn't explain anything, and nothing I see online gives clarity. You are selling an instrument, could you add more information? When you buy an electrical multimeter, does it come with instructions? Will I change the stars if someone can explain?

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Not everything fits
