Triple Scale Hydrometer measures SG, Plato/Brix, potential alcohol. A hydrometer is used to determine the specific gravity (SG) of your beer, this is a measurement of sugar in a liquid. This measurement can also be determined in two other scales Plato/Brix or potential alcohol. The specific gravity is used to determine the alcohol level of your beer and to monitor the fermentation progress. A reading must be taken from cooled wort or wine must before fermentation, and a second reading is taken after fermentation, the difference between the two readings is then plugged into an equation (or online calculator) to determine the alcohol content in your beer or wine. This hydrometer can be used to determine the OG of your wash or mash, the FG after fermentation, and the ABV before distillation.
