Wine hydrometers are often calibrated in Brix, so if it reads 10 Brix, that would be 1.040.

thanks for the reply i will have to get a one for cider/larger all i no was it was in the red at 1010 if it is reading in bricks and is infact 1040 that would be great if its not the problem i wondering if the apples im using are just no good if any one else can help i aprechiate it thanks
