You know, all you evil guys jinxed me! Last one of these I posted i said I have never broken one. Well sure enough, about a week ago I took a hydro reading of my cider (0.998) and my SWMBO poked me in the side, I spun my head around and hit the hydro and cider sample off the counter with the bill of my hat... DOH! not only did it break but I lost my sample of cider!!!! So my official count is now 1 dead hydro RIP lil guy.

Here I was thinking I would never break one... I was puting it in the plastic tube, it felt like it went in and then.... oops.... pop....





Sounds like a bad condom review.

Two for me so far. Now it stays in the test tube...

So last Sunday I decided to really analyze my brewing process by taking gravity readings at every step. I'm pretty lazy, and I usually wait until I'm about to boil, then take a reading. If I'm low, I top up with extract. I usually get 70% to 75% efficiency into the carboy without extract, though.

Not Sunday. That was my day to turn my brew day into a chemistry lab experiment, and I was going to take a reading after the first runnings and after each batch sparge step to find out where I was losing efficiency. I reached up to grab my hydrometer from the shelf it was on without realizing that the tube it was in didn't have its top on it.

I'm up to 3 now in 6 years.

broke one. luckily it was in its plastic case when it got smacked. It started rolling off the counter and I smashed it trying to catch it. At least there was no cleanup involved!

Just broke my 3rd, considering this is only my 9th Brew, this isnt looking good. Maybe its time to go with a refractometer /cheers

I've broken two this year before finally buying a hydrometer.

Never broken one, but I have a question. Is that paper scale anchored in any way other than it being rolled up and pressed against the inside of the glass? what's to keep it from shifting? How do I check the calibration of mine to make sure the paper hasn't moved?
