Thermometers Temperature control is critical to the quality
of beer, wine and cheese you produce. During the process you will need
to set and maintain certain temperatures. The reason is found in chemistry.
As you prepare a batch you are causing chemical reactions by applying heat.
Hydrometers The hydrometer is used to measure the amount
of sugar in you wort or must. This measurement is called the specific gravity.
The first reading you take (prior to adding yeast) is the original gravity.
Our last reading (prior to packaging) is the final gravity. These two numbers
are used to calculate the alcohol content of the beverage. For details
of the calculation see Calculating
Alcohol Content.
