Ideal for hydrometers

Ideal for testing mash or finished liquor. DON'T THROW ANYTHING FROM THIS! The cylinder will break if dropped or if the testers are not carefully placed in it, and the testers will break into hundreds of pieces even if the counter is tapped. Beware of fragility, but don't think that only they do it, they all do it. THIS IS A GREAT STARTER PACK AND IT IS RECOMMENDED TO PURCHASE TWO SETS AT A TIME. Just in case.

Pros
  • Test, measure and inspect
Cons
  • Protection

YOU WILL RECEIVE *ONLY* BALCOHOLOMETER AND GLASS BOTTLE

Photo shows 1) alcoholometer/trallé hydrometer, 2) specific gravity hydrometer, and 3) glass tubes with plastic bases. You will NOT receive a specific gravity hydrometer! That being said the breathalyzer seems to work reasonably well but I am giving this product 1 star due to the misleading - let's be honest wrong - listing. These companies need to stop robbing people!

Pros
  • Substance Analyzer
Cons
  • Factor Set

Deviation by a few percentage points.

This measured my 95% laboratory alcohol accurately to 100%, which was my first clue that something was wrong. 151 proofs were then measured (75.5%), Everclear at 79%. I needed to know the exact concentration of the mix - the hydrometer read 91.5% but based on two previous readings of known mixes I decided this was too high. So I checked the density with my lab equipment (calibrated cylinders and precision balances) and it was around 86%. Distilled water reads exactly 0% with a hydrometer, which

Ideal for testing, measuring and checking

Ideal for testing puree or finished liquor or when the testers not placed carefully and the tester will shatter into hundreds of pieces even if there is a rap on the counter.

Pros
  • Product pack dimensions: 15.3"L x 7.9"W x 7.7"H

  • Available in white only
