Alcoholmeter or Densimeter or Hydrometer or Saccharimeter
Information about Alcoholmeter, or Densimeter or Hydrometer or Saccharimeter 1.
Professional wine making, beer making and distilling
is without a hydrometer or brew-tester or alcoholmeter or saccharimeter impossible. 3. The hydrometer or alcoholmeter or densimeter show you acc. to the scale: The gravity or percentage of your liquid. 4. Hydrometers are floating weights showing how
many grammes or percentage one litre of your liquid is weighing. 5. - one gramme is about 16 grain - one litre is about one quart - 6.
When do you use a hydrometer or a alcoholmeter or a densimeter or a saccharimeter ? 7. To know the gravity or percentage of that liquid. 8. to calculate how much sugar or water you require to get a the same %
of alcohol you used to have. 9. to control the distillation or how far the fermentation is. 10. to find out that fermentation is finished. 11.
finding out how much sugar you have to add in parts to get full a body 12. to control the rest sugar - how dry the wine is. 13. for strong wines you have to add sugar several times - but to much sugar stops
fermentation ! Therefore you have to check and calculate the required quantity of sugar. 14. controlling the fermentation before and during fermenting is important because you see easy when fermentation is stopping and
you have to add some nutrient or keep it at a wormer place. 15. controlling concentration of an alcohol shows you the strength and how much water you have to add. 16. some hydrometers show you the percentage
of alcohol ! Keep in mind you can measure the sugar only and the figures of alcohol show you how many % your wine will have after complete fermentation . 17. never use an alcoholmeter for wine making ! The alcoholmeter
shows you the concentration of alcohol / water solution only ! In wine it can not work !
2.
Working without hydrometer or alcoholmeter or saccharimeter means: Driving in a tunnel without light! ... you never
arrive and never become a professional.
Requirements and use full hints.
Before you use an Hydrometer or Alcoholmeter or Densimeter or Lactodensimeter or Baumé Hydrometer or Saccharimeter you require: 1. a clean and clear hydrometer test jar or hydrometer flask. 2. a dry linen cloth.
3. a clean liquid, you have to filter perhaps. 4. store test jar, liquid and test instrument ( hydrometer ) about 3-4 hours in the same room you test. Even the liquid you’re diluting with ! 5. Never
return a liquid you ferment or distill etc. in the fermenter or in the bulk unless you have not sanitized test jar, hydrometer or other items you used. 6. stir or shake liquid well before filling in the test jar.
7. do not float the hydrometer before the quid is free of bubbles! 8. the test jar should as long as the length of a hydrometer or alcoholmeter or densimeter or saccharimeter or lactodensimeter
How to use:
a- clean the hydrometer or alcoholmeter or densimeter or hold only from the thin part above the scale. b-
pour the clean liquid into the test jar, leave at least 2" / 5cm from the rim free. c- close the test jar with a clean plastic foil and with the palm of
the hand, shake 10 times! Be careful if acid or lye is in your liquid. d- the hydrometer or alcoholmeter or densimeter or saccharimeter or e- take reading at eye level at the spot where the thin part or f- write the date and the reading down. g-
record the reading of the temperature with a thermometer. h- before and after use clean hydrometer or alcoholmeter or
saccharimeter or lactodensimeter with a linen cloth and
lactodensimeter is now dipped slowly into the liquid until it floats freely.
stem intersects the liquid, i.e. at the level of the liquid surface.
Better use a hydrometer with a incorporated thermometer .
densimeter or saccharimeter or lactodensimeter and test jar
‘ with warm water.
