Alcometer Proof & Tralle - Still Spirits

This alcometer is a professional grade hydrometer that has a scale that goes to 100% alc./vol. It is used to calculate alcohol content in 20+% beverages. Similar in use to a brewing hydrometer, but assumes no sugar is in the solution. You must float in a sample to obtain a reading. The reading will only be accurate in alcohol solutions post distillation.

NOTE: Liquids with content other than alcohol and water will not read accurately. An alcometer cannot be used to measure the alcohol of mixed or carbonated drinks.

WARNING: For taking readings of alcohol solutions above 20%, it is recommended that all containers be made of glass or stainless steel as plastic may be damaged and leech chemicals into the solution.

NOTE: This alcometer DOES NOT work for taking readings for beer or wine fermentations. If your intent is to measure the graivity (sugar density) in beer and wine, you need a hydrometer.
