Hydrometers & Thermometers

Graduated Cylinder glass, class A

The 500mL is the most commonly used cylinder for our certified hydrometers for distilleries.

Please read the PDF for complete information about the ordering and certification process for certified instruments. 

1" diameter dial face, 5" probe

Wide temperature range 0° to 220° F, -18° to 104° C

Calibratable

Protective sleeve with clip

This basic, economical hydrometer reads in three scales (Triple Scale) - Specific Gravity, Brix/Balling, and Potential Alcohol, making it a must-have tool for any home brewer or wine maker.

Standard w ine & beer thermometer. (not exactly as shown)

The BTX-1 Refractometer is automatically temperature compensated, and has a range of 0-32% brix. 

The VEE GEE Scientific Handheld Brix Refractometers feature the largest, easiest-to-read scale available with clear, sharp figures, screen shading and incredible contrast.

Includes a zippered vinyl carrying case, plastic transfer pipette, and instruction manual.

The HI96811 is a rugged, portable digital refractometer designed for sugar measurement of wine, juice and must. The HI96811 reports sugar content as % Brix and has a high accuracy of ±0.2%. The operation of the meter is simplified with only two buttons: one button is to calibrate with distilled or deionized water and the other to take a measurement. All readings are automatically compensated for temperature variations according to the ICUMSA Methods Book standard and displayed within a 1.5 second response time. The sealed flint glass prism and stainless steel well are easy to clean. Just wipe with a soft cloth in preparation for the next sample.

• Sample size as small as 2 metric drops (100 μl)
• Sealed stainless steel well with high-grade optical prism made of flint glass
• Fast 1.5 second response time for temperature compensated readings

A refractometer is used to measure the density of a solution, in our case how much malt sugar is in solution. Featuring both a Brix scale AND a Specific Gravity Scale

A refractometer allows you take instant gravity readings at any point during the boil, or even during the run off of the sparge during an all-grain brew. This unit allows you to measure in Specific Gravity Scale.

The HI935005 K-Type Thermocouple Thermometer is a digital, waterproof thermometer. This meter offers high accuracy temperature measurements using a wide variety of interchangeable probes.

• ±0.2% accuracy
• °C/°F readout
• High and low-temperature display

Range: 45-82 Brix. This refractometer is good for honey/mead.

Not automatic temperature compensated. 

The VEE GEE Scientific Handheld Brix Refractometers feature the largest, easiest-to-read scale available with clear, sharp figures, screen shading and incredible contrast.

Includes a zippered vinyl carrying case, plastic transfer pipette, and instruction manual.

The HI96801 is a rugged, portable digital refractometer for food products designed to report the sugar content of aqueous solutions as % Brix. The HI96801 report the results with an accuracy of ±0.2% Brix. The operation of the meter is simplified with only two buttons: one button is to calibrate with distilled or deionized water and the other to take a measurement. All readings are automatically compensated for temperature variations according to the ICUMSA Methods Book standard and displayed within a 1.5 second response time. The sealed flint glass prism and stainless steel well are easy to clean. Just wipe with a soft cloth in preparation for the next sample.

• Sample size as small as 2 metric drops (100 μl)
• Sealed stainless steel well with high-grade optical prism made of flint glass
• Fast 1.5 second response time for temperature compensated readings

The Atago 3810 PAL-1 handheld, digital refractometer fits in many pockets, measures Brix in the 0.0 to 53.0% range and temperature 9.0 to 99.9 degrees C, has automatic temperature compensation (ATC), an external light interference (ELI) warning, and Ingress Protection (IP)-65 rating.
