Review: Great, works fine - For the price (about £5 prime) and speedy delivery this has been a great bit of kit for my first ventures into home brew. Reading is easy - using the supplied test tube (which also doubles as it protective case - why not? it does the job fine) to hold your sample, drop in the hydro and let it settle to see where the level is and this provides original gravity prior to fermentation. Take samples during fermentation which should reveal a reduction in gravity indicating sugars being fermented to alcohol. When fermentation appears to be finished take another sample and (depending on what you are brewing) close to 1000 would indicate its done. The difference between the original gravity and the final specific gravity will allow you to calculate the alcohol content of the fermented brew.

## Features

- Stevenson Reeves Specific Gravity Hydrometer for Home Wine, Beer and Cider making (S1500)
- Measures specific gravity from 0.970 to 1.150 with an easy to read double scale that can be read from any angle.
- Comes packed in a strong clear plastic tube for storage and protection
- The storage tube can also be used as a trial jar - just place the cap on the base of the tube to give it a more stable base. Can also be used with any 100ml sample jar.
- This hydrometer will show you: The starting gravity of your beer wort or wine must. The progress of fermentation, by gradually sinking as the sugar turns into alcohol. Whether fermentation has stopped too early. When to bottle or keg.
- Take readings at the beginning and end of fermentation to determine alcohol content.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a model S1500 ?**
A: Thanks for your question, this Stevenson Reeves hydrometer is the S1500 model which is a twin scale hydrometer supplied in it's own plastic tube which doubles up as a trial jar and has full instructions enclosed, Best regards, Home Brew Online

**Q: Can this be used for brewing Spirits?**
A: You do not brew spirits. You distill a previously fermented material that produces low level alcohol. You then distill this low level alcohol to remove water and concentrate to higher levels of alcohol. The hydrometer will give an indication of the water to alcohol ratio to let you know how effective your process is.

**Q: Do I need to buy a measuring 100ml test jar if I order this?**
A: No, the hygrometer can be used with any container to hold the fluid.  The hygrometer measures the specific gravity by sinking to its buoyant state within the fluid. If it is pure water it will sink to a depth where the reading of 1 should be observed on the side of the hygrometer. If there is a lot of alcohol in the fluid it will float to a depth where the reading should be around 0.9 to 1.0 depending on how much alcohol is present.

**Q: Will this be suitable to check if there is alcohol in my water kefir? I assume I would need to measure before and after?**
A: Hello, this is designed to be used when making beer, cider and wine. It will give a gravity reading before and during fermentation so it may be suitable for you but we cannot guarantee that.  Regards  HBO
