North Mountain Supply - NMSPT-H Glass Hydrometer - Alcoholmeter 0-200 Proof & 0-100 Tralle

Marked clearly and works great

Just one major ISSUE! This hydrometer does EXACTLY what its designed to do, which Is measure alcohol content % & proof in distilled spirits. It's accurate, easy to read and made well. The ISSUE I have with it is, I seem to have miss placed mine so now I have to buy another and it will be this exact same one.

I can't understand why anyone would have trouble using this. Granted, if you received the wrong item or it was broken then perhaps you could complain. Unlike a hydrometer made for beer & wine this one requires little to no math and keeping track of OG,SG and FG. Just place it in your finished product and adjust a bit for room temperature. I tested mine on store bought liquors and the readings were very accurate. Will buy another should anything happen to this one.

I must have misread the description, I have had hydrometers that read specific gravity for beer and cider making before but this one doesn’t have that measurement on it. It only reads proof of distilled alcohols so didn’t work for cider making but if you have a general idea of what specific gravity marks means you can still use it to get a rough idea of where your home tee is at.

Works just fine. In a few reviews I've read people ask for instructions. If you don't know how to use a hydrometer then you have no business making the stuff it's used to measure. Exactly how complicated can floating a glass tube in alcohol and reading the number at the surface??? Not exactly rocket science people.

Needed this to test the potency of alcohol content in my spirits. Well worth the buy.

Just drop it in the bottle and read the number. I tested it in several 80 proof bottles and it read perfectly on the 80 line. Tried it on some higher proof bottles and it read exactly as the bottle indicated. The only set back is the size. It's a little long (which it needs to be for big bottles). For 750 ml bottles and 1.75 liter bottles it's perfect (given the bottle is full). For smaller amounts or smaller bottles you'll need something like a large test tube (maybe 1" x 12").

I broke it... so i had to get a new one.. be caseful guys
