It features three scales—SG, Brix, and potential alcohol—allowing detailed monitoring of fermentation progress and alcohol content. Compact and weighted for stability, it fits standard test tubes and is tailored for beer and wine, empowering you to craft professional-quality brews with confidence. ## Description The hydrometer is used to determine the specific gravity of your beer. The specific gravity is used to determine the alcohol level of your beer and to monitor the fermentation progress. A must have for anybody making wine or beer at home. Review: Dimensions! - The length of the hydrometer is about 10 3/4 inches, and the widest part of the hydrometer is about .6 inches (circumference was 2 inches). You will probably need at least a 12 inch test tube. It is weighed with lead shot which is kept at the bottom with what looks like rubber. It will test all beers and wine and shows normal ranges for each (normal SG of wine, desert wine, beer, and their corresponding FGs) on the paper inside the tube. I don't know why everyone is fuming about not receiving one that has a colored paper inside the tube, you have to look really closely at the markers to tell the precise gravity readings anyway, so it being colored doesn't factor into anything but cosmetics. It didn't really matter to me because I received one WITH the colored markers. I ordered it March 4, 2014. Of course, you should check with distilled water to see if there is a fault, which I haven't done yet, and apply that to your readings. Make sure the temperature you take your readings at are adjusted using an online gravity adjustment calculator. I only give it 4 stars instead of 5 because I haven't tested it yet, but everything looks good! Update: March 15, 2014: I tested it in a 12 inch test jar with distilled water, and, even at the right temperature it measured about .002 degrees higher than it should. No big deal though! I was going to take the OG of my brew water (with included minerals, like gypsum) anyway and use that to gauge my SG for when I finally place it in the primary. Upping the star count to 5 cause it is everything I expected of a hydrometer, even with a slight SLIGHT fault.

They hydrometer will not differentiate between simple sugars and complex carbohydrates, it only measures density. **Q: Will this work for water kefir?** A: I imagine it would; as long as there is an alcohol content it should register. **Q: Will this work with cider?** A: i dont think so,it wouldnt work for my wine (and that what i bought 2 of em for), may work if you get the cylinder..i didnt get mine yet **Q: What is the range of this hydrometer? does it go as low as 1.005?** A: It goes from 0.99 to 1.16 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dimensions! *by P***R on March 10, 2014* The length of the hydrometer is about 10 3/4 inches, and the widest part of the hydrometer is about .6 inches (circumference was 2 inches).

The colors help a lot. I normally use glasses so when I check the gravity, on my others, I have trouble differentiating the SG levels. With this, it is easier as get a quick read as 0.990 and below is in black and white. 0.990-1.000 is in blue. Their is a color change on the glass to help you remember what each color represents. for example, 1.060 -1.092 is in green to remind you that that range is used for setting your gravity prior to adding your yeast while 1.100 - 1.130 is in blue to remind you that that range is for desert wines. As a beginner, this is helpful. if you are an old pro, I am boring you. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hydrometer (Triplescale) - Floating thermometer - Fermtech Regular 5/16" Auto Siphon 24" Length with 8 feet of Tubing, clear, 1 piece --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/276837-hydrometer-triplescale](https://www.desertcart.at/products/276837-hydrometer-triplescale) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
