This is a triple-scale hydrometer, but you may also find them in double scale or just single scale.So, to demonstrate, we’ll add water to this test beaker and keep the hydrometer from rolling away. You achieved a higher efficiency than planned. This will give you an idea or estimate of how much alcohol you can distill out of your still. The hydrometer will tell you approximately how much alcohol was made in the fermentation process. This alcoholmeter or alcohol meter can be floated in a distillers parrot to give you real time alcohol percentage or proof of spirits coming off the still. The exact amount is only a secondary concern.As you start getting more and more into the hobby, knowing the percent alcohol can be useful. There are variables that will effect the amount of alcohol yielded like how much of the foreshots, heads, and tails was removed. Insert the hydrometer. In brewing, the increase in density is generally the result of the addition of sugar, so we can use the hydrometer to gauge the approximate amount of alcohol that we will create through fermentation. Not every drop will be distilled out and also you will be removing foreshots, heads, and tails when you make your cuts.See below step by step how to use a hydrometer using the specific gravity reading.After the sugar water, mash, or wash has cooled to 70F to 80F and before you add the yeast fill up about 3/4 of your test jar (the plastic or glass test jar to float the hydrometer). So, if a pre-fermented liquid measures 18 °Bx, its potential alcohol content will be approximately 10.6 percent ABV. The hydrometer can help you measure the specific gravity of water with sugar in it. This one has a name – the OG, or Original Gravity.Through the boil, a reasonable volume of water evaporates, concentrating the sugars in your brew kettle. A hydrometer gives you an estimated alcohol percentage that was produced in the fermentation process so you have an idea or estimate for how much alcohol there is to distill out.If your fermentation did not work well and there was minimal alcohol produced in the fermentation then knowing what happened will help correct the problem. And of course, thoroughly wash your hands before continuing.First, place the freshly sanitized hydrometer in its tube. Hi folks, and welcome back for another Heads episode. Everything you need to know about using a hydrometer to measure the alcohol content of your home brew.Practical advice to help you brew better beer. Like Plato is a brewer’s measurement, Brix is a winemaker’s measurement. The true gravity reading is 1.069 – that’s a big difference!There’s a simple formula to calculate the approximate alcohol content of your beer.For example, you measured an OG reading of 1.065 and an FG of 1.010.Once you’ve got the ABV from the formula above, you can calculate the number of standard drinks in one of your home brews with the one below.For example, a 330ml bottle of that tasty 6.5% American IPA:Here are a few gotchas to watch out for when you’re learning how to use a hydrometer.The sample you take needs to be representative of the whole brew.

As you extract sugar from the grain then convert it to alcohol, a hydrometer lets you quantify that process.A hydrometer is a sealed glass tube with a weight in the bottom and a scale indicating “Specific Gravity” (SG). What to Do: Measuring and Calculating Alcohol Using a Hydrometer. The hydrometer is used to tell you the ABV ( alcohol by volume ) in the fermentation process so it tells you how much estimated alcohol was produced when the fermentation is complete.
