How to use
- Sanitise the hydrometer and a sample tube or jar.
- Draw a sample of wash and pour it into the tube.
- Float the hydrometer, give it a spin to release bubbles, and read the scale at the liquid surface.
- When the reading sits at or below the red line and stays the same for two days in a row, fermentation has finished.
FAQ
How do you read a hydrometer?
Read the number where the surface of the liquid crosses the scale, at eye level. Ignore the curve of liquid climbing the stem.
How do I know my wash has finished fermenting?
When the reading is at or below the red line and doesn't change over two days, the yeast has finished.
Can I use a wash hydrometer for beer or wine?
It measures SG, so yes. A beer and wine hydrometer with a wider scale is easier to read at higher starting gravities.
See all testing and measuring gear, or our distiller's sugar wash recipe.
Calculators: ABV calculator for your wash, and spirit dilution calculator for after distilling.
