Common Use: Beer Brewing Hydrometers
A hydrometer is commonly used in the beer making process to check specific gravity of the liquid which is about to be fermented. This specific gravity reading is important as it then can then be used to calculate the amount of sugar content in the liquid.
The general principle is:
The more sugar in the
liquid, the higher the reading.
The more alcohol in the liquid (after fermenting), the lower the reading.
Which hydrometers do I use?
