Hi all,
so I bought a hydrometer....it's rubbish! or at least I can't work out how to read it.
Rather than me going through a lot of £5 spending sprees till I find one I like can someone recommend me one? Be nice to know how strong my Turbo cider is as I've woken up with a sore head after 2 bottles
Which Hydrometer?
Re: Which Hydrometer?
Just to clarify, what do you mean by you can't read it, what reading did you get from it?
Did you take an original gravity reading before fermentation with a hydrometer what did you get for that?

Re: Which Hydrometer?
I've got a Stevenson Read SC2748/00 The scale goes from 1000 to 1060. The means the gradations are further apart than most hydrometers that cover a wider range, making it easy to read.
I only use it for FG readings, I have a refractometer for OG so it doesn't matter if I make a strong beer with a starting OG of higher than 1060. Not that I ever have.
