I have seen these so many times but never knew what it was or how to use it! I have officially learned something new today 🤩

[@MoonshineHowTo]

Glad it was helpful!😍

Hi, could you please tell me which hydrometer is the best? Glass or plastic?

[@MoonshineHowTo]

Glass is best, easier to sanitize, better to see.

[@keith_ferdinanduz]

@@MoonshineHowTo Ok, thanks...

[@MoonshineHowTo]

For specific gravity, we love using the refractor, but we also have a glass SG hydrometer on hand at all times.

I have a hydrometer just like yours...but I never use it. LOL. When I started brewing, the guy who taught me just told me to wing it, and that's what I always do. I just drink a 6 pack, and see how drunk I get, to estimate the AVB. hahahaha

[@MoonshineHowTo]

LOL, that's so funny!!!I am still laughing :)

[@StillShanty]

so a little confused I have an apple mash with a reading of 1.070 and abv of 9. Is this good to run? Your video says don't run til 0.990. Did I miss something?

[@raymondminer8867]

1.07 is what your starting gravity reading at the beginning of the fermentation process. 0.999 is what your reading should be when ready to put in your pot.

I put my test mash back in I pretty much messed up huhn?

[@raymondminer8867]

No it usually won’t hurt but it is a good practice not to. Enjoy and have fun no worries

[@codyreynolds6333]

How do I calculate for over 60 f

[@raymondminer8867]

There is a a chart that comes with your hydrometer. It is not critical it is to get you in the ballpark

You are talking about using this meter to know exactly when a moonshine mash is ready for running for the most outcome. Correct
