Triple scale hydrometer is a must have. For 10.00 dollars or less it allows you to know your alcohol content , your sugar content and did it ferment? Where are we in the ferment?
It comes with instructions, it’s easy you’ll see . Three scales the first is specific gravity . That’s just the fermentable substances in your must.
The second is potential alcohol by volume . When you mix your honey and water you can decide your alcohol content. You can make it low like six percent or you can make it 12 to 18 percentage. The hydrometer gives you the ability to have more control over what your making.
The third is Percent Sugar. No explanation needed.
I am going to start with Potential Alcohol. Standard Mead is about 12 percent. So if we started with 12 percent we fermented for 2 days and took a hydrometer reading and it was 2 that’s means we made 10 percent alcohol and have 2 percent more sugar left in the must.
Hang in there it’s easy . It will all tie together.
