Hydrometer
Delivery Australia-wide: $16 for this item on its own (based on cart total).
Hydrometer is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
This Hydrometer measures the specific gravity (SG) of beer and wine, so you can track fermentation and calculate alcohol content. It's long and easy to read, with a tri-colour wine/beer scale, and a high-quality test jar is included.

| Also known as | Triple-scale hydrometer, SG hydrometer, beer hydrometer, wine hydrometer |
|---|---|
| Scale | Tri-colour wine/beer scale |
| Included | Hydrometer and test jar |
| Used for | Measuring original and final gravity, tracking fermentation, calculating ABV |
| Suits | Beer, wine, cider, mead and washes |
How to use
- Sanitise the hydrometer and test jar.
- Fill the jar with a sample of wort, must or wash.
- Float the hydrometer, spin it to remove bubbles, and read the scale at eye level.
- Record your starting gravity (OG) and final gravity (FG). ABV is roughly (OG − FG) × 131.25.
FAQ
How do you read a hydrometer?
Look at eye level where the liquid surface crosses the scale, not at the curve climbing the stem.
How do I calculate ABV with a hydrometer?
Take a reading before fermentation (OG) and after (FG). ABV ≈ (OG − FG) × 131.25. For example, 1.050 to 1.010 gives about 5.25%.
Does temperature affect the reading?
Yes. Hydrometers are calibrated at a set temperature, usually 20°C. Warmer samples read slightly low.
