Frequently Asked Questions

To determine the alcohol content using a hydrometer, you immerse the hydrometer in the liquid. The hydrometer will settle to a specific depth in the liquid, providing a reading based on its specific gravity. The higher the alcohol content, the higher the hydrometer will remain afloat. By referencing a calibration chart or table, you can precisely calculate the alcohol content in the liquid.

The key distinction is that hygrometers measure humidity or moisture content in the air, while hydrometers measure the density or specific gravity of liquids.
