An easier to read hydrometer?

[lgilmore]

Does anyone sell a hydrometer that is easier to read?

Any digital?

I ask because so far in my short brewing experience I have a heck of a time "reading" those tiny little lines on my hydrometer. I tend to come up with an educated "guess". I know it doesn't have to be spot on as the end result is still what matters, but it would be nice to have a clearer idea of my start and finish readings.

Yes, I wear reading glasses Thanks.

Look into using a refractometer. With the help of experience and certain computerized spreadsheets or tools in brewing software, you can get pretty accurate gravity readings.

They also sell "precision" hydrometers that have a narrower range of gravity readings, so the lines are more spread out, making them easier to read.
