🍺 Maximize Your Brewing Precision with the Proof and Tralle Hydrometer Review

I tested store bought rum that I knew was 80 proof. The hydrometer showed 98 proofs after temperature correction.

Proof and hydrometer trawl are inaccurate. It's off by 2-3 centroids, so it's not an effective gauge.

For spirits around 40% ABV and above this tool works well. forget it below For example, I bought this mainly to evaluate my homemade limoncello. I make it about 30% ABV, but when tested, the hygrometer reads less than 0% alcohol. I also tried it on a bottle of commercial toffee schnapps at 20% ABV. Same result: less than 0% alcohol.

I wish I knew I should buy this before I started distilling my alcohol as the only other hydrometer I had was for the mash that is used BEFORE you distill. Now I know! If you want to make whiskey, buy it for distilling and get another for mash that can give lower readings. This one is for higher readings only and doesn't come with a vial so make sure you get a vial before you buy one.

I broke my last ALLA hydrometer by dropping it on an empty parrot, oops! So this time I bought 2 hydrometers because it's always good to have a spare. This product was intended to be a production hydrometer. on ALLA instruments. ALLA is made in France and better quality than what I received. All hydrometers I received were marked "Made in the USA" and had no documentation or ALLA mark on the packaging, hydrometers, or instructions. These are not ALLA hydrometers. I measured the accuracy against
