Stevenson Reeves Spirit Hydrometer — is it the right tool for hobbyists who work with sugary liqueurs or fermented drinks?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Measuring Range: Measures 0–100% alcohol by volume at 20°C with an easy-to-read double scale
- • Best for: Home distillers monitoring strength during distillation
- • Not ideal for: Liqueurs or fermented drinks that contain sugars, such as wine or beer
Calibration covers the full 0–100% ABV range at the standard 20°C reference, with a double scale for visibility. Intended use is to check the strength of distilled spirits only.
Precise strength checks - With 0–100% ABV calibration at 20°C
Calibration at 20°C covers the full 0–100% alcohol by volume range and uses a double scale to mark readings clearly. The double scale is arranged for visibility from different angles to reduce parallax when taking measurements.
Home distillers can determine spirit strength accurately and track changes during runs, helping to make reliable cuts and consistent batches.
Easy sample testing - With a strong clear plastic tube that doubles as a trial jar
A strong clear plastic tube is included for storage and protection, and the cap fits on the base to form a more stable trial jar. The tube is compatible with 100ml sample jars for straightforward testing.
Quick tests become possible without extra kit, and simple storage keeps equipment organised between sessions.
Built for routine use - With durable thick glass construction
Thick glass construction is reported in user feedback as durable enough for regular handling in a home distilling setting. Protective packaging reduces the risk of damage during transport and storage.
Reduced breakage risk supports frequent use, so hobbyists can rely on consistent readings over multiple distilling sessions.
