Hydrometers - Home brewing tips in under 5 minutes

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Honestly I 've been using them for a long time and never had too much trouble getting them to seal, although I also knew that a seal doesnt matter unless you have a bug problem! Cheerz Tiny

Great vid Gash. Pretty sure I've stuffed up a hydro or 2 due to adding to hot mix. Digging the Little Creatures shirt.

Coopers have always had shit products , for years and years there fermenters did not seal but they still sold them knowing this . Cheers man for jumping on this , I'm sure you have alot to teach us in under 5 mins .

Nice mate. Hit up Buckley's brewry last week. We've got a Healesville mish sorted at the end of the month. I see at the end of March there's the Yarra Valley BeerFest (Homebrew comp) in Coldstream which kinda stuffs up plans but if we can make we will. You submitting anything mate?

Great tip Gash, How accurate do you find your refractometer? I have one that after calibration seems accurate for water and seems accurate for starting gravity but no good for final gravity as a hydrometer reading showed FG at 1.010 the refractometer at 1.025.

My plastic one is out but I check the calibration before testing . And add or subtract it . You can still use them . Just check calibration

Great info Thanks

Refractometer better for hot wort and unfermented wort, hydrometers better for fermented wort. I'm slack these days and very rarely measure at all to be truthful, well for the extracts, AG and Minis I always just check the hot wort, I don't bother with FG much, unless I think something seems wrong. Saying that I'm only brewing for myself and not competitions etc. Cheers!
