Presented here is a Brix Hydrometer by Bellwether. This hydrometer is calibrated to show the percent of sucrose by weight @ 20 C / 68 F .
1degree Brix = 1% sugar
For the home brewer this hydrometer is essential to determine the sugar content of the wort.

Why The Thermometer?
The density of a liquid is indirectly proportional to its temperature. As the temperature increases, density decreases. Brix hydrometers are typically calibrated at 20 C / 68 F. To accurately assess the density of a liquid, a measurement should be taken at the temperature which the hydrometer was calibrated. When this is not possible and the temperature deviates from the 20 C standard, corrections must be applied to the hydrometer reading. This thermometer is scaled with the appropriate temperature correction for the hydrometer reading.
Bellwether Hydrometers are manufactured in strict accordance to specifications of ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) for accuracy and design.
Shorter ranges calibrated from
0 to 12, 9 to 21, 19 to 31, ect. are available upon request, contact me.
The 450 mL hydrometer jar should be used with this instrument
Also available in my eBay Store are Brix hydrometers without a thermometer, Alcohol / Proof hydrometers, universal specific gravity hydrometers and short range specific gravity hydrometers.
