Re: Accuracy of hydrometer
I use a triple set because the graduations are further apart and easier to read than on 0-100 scale alcometers.

Re: Accuracy of hydrometer
Long story short.
If Ya really need or just want accuracy over a wide range, expect to spend money

Re: Accuracy of hydrometer
You can get sets of ten that cover the range in 10% increments.

Re: Accuracy of hydrometer
Idk about accuracy but as far as quality..... Opened up my boiler to dump after a run to find that I forgot to take me alcometer out before starting it up. Went through the whole spirit run ride without breaking. When I saw it, that weird noise I never heard before finally made sense haha....
Anyone have a link to a set of quality hydrometers? By set, I mean upper mid and lower ranges.
