I'm sure everyone knows how to use a hydrometer....
How about a Refractometer? They are a great tool. Just one drop of liquid,
And you know the Brix of your mix! They aren't too expensive these days
either.
Sadly the Refractometer doesn't seem to work with fermented solutions with
Alcohol. I keep getting wacky readings trying to use it post-fermentation.
So you can use. Vinometer which has a little capitulary tube that shows you
How much alcohol your wine has in it post-fermentation. Unfortunately they
Seem to be wildly inaccurate. I've had three, and only one gave me useful
Readings; the others always seemed to read five points too high.
I'm too cheap to buy a Cash Still Ebuiliometer, and it should like a headache
Too use as well. What the heck most of the time I do things by taste anyway!
Thanks, Jim
