Efficient Tool for Alcohol Analysis

As a result of my tests I determined that this device is incredibly accurate and easy to use... It has a quick response time and provides reliable data. The only downside is that it requires a bit of calibration initially, but once it's set up, it's a breeze to operate..

Pros
  • Provides accurate measurements of alcohol content in various liquids.
Cons
  • Requires some level of expertise to operate and interpret results.

However, the cheap $15 model you buy at your local craft beer store worked just fine. However, as an artisan distiller, TTB is weak

Artisan distiller Beware. I bought three of these for each of the stoves I will be producing alcohol on and all three sank to the bottom of the cylinder. I was expecting 75-95% to do just that at a lower proof, but when I immediately set it to 180 proof it dropped again. However, the cheap $15 model you buy at your local craft beer store worked just fine. However, as an artisanal distiller, TTB does not recognize cheap hydrometers that must be certified and traceable. It won't work, so I can't…

Pros
  • Good product for its price
