Frequently Asked Questions
What does a hydrometer measure?
A hydrometer measures the specific gravity (or sugar content) of your wort or beer. It helps you calculate alcohol content and track fermentation progress.
How is a refractometer different from a hydrometer?
A refractometer uses light refraction to measure sugar concentration, requiring only a few drops of liquid. It’s ideal for quick readings during brewing.
Why should I monitor fermentation temperature?
Maintaining proper temperature ensures yeast health and flavor stability. Use a digital thermometer or fermometer to stay within the ideal range.
Can I use pH strips for beer and kombucha?
Yes. pH test strips are safe and accurate for both beer and kombucha brewing, ensuring a balanced fermentation environment.
What’s the best way to clean testing equipment?
Rinse your tools immediately after use and sanitize them with One Step No Rinse Cleanser before your next batch.
