First time in many years the other week
One of those round plastic sleeves/tubes with a plastic plug on each end? Those tubes are borderline criminal!2341
Hydrometer hit bottom of case and kept going, to the floor.
Picture is kinda hazy, and not in a good way. What's exactly considered "ugly" here, hydrometer wise?View attachment 604236
and i was wondering why my gluco beers wern't finishing dry! not sure if that counts as ' broke'...but the one reading right, on the right..is ugly so i have to get a new one!

How is it disintegrating? It's a sealed glass tube.yeah camera is from the 90's...the one on the right at the bottom that's not in the pic is distingrating....but you can tell from the fuzzy image the one on the left in the same tap water is reading at 1.005, one on the right, 1.000

i don't know...the one that's lying to me is pretty and the honest one is ugly...i might have found my dream of a single scale one though on ebay, and ordered it! don't remember these things costing 30 bucks before though....
I put my thermometer in its case very carefully to ensure nothing was at risk of being damaged. Didnt have the cap on the other end and it slid right out. Now ive broken one thermometer and one hydrometer in my 8 years of brewing. Thats pretty good!
The key to not breaking them is to not use them. Lol. I don't measure gravity on every batch.I did this with a sightglass not that long ago - forgot to cap it
I'd day in about 10+ years of brewing i've broken 1 (others have broken like 5)
That's what I figured too: we're at 2582so if my running count is correct, we're at 2582 if we put Jrl1775 down for 15 and Jtvann is in for 5.
bonus points for posting a pic of the deceased.View attachment 606871
My 'new' plain form one arrived broken... But i can see that plain form is the way to go if all you want is SG...This was H-B Instrument 1.000-1.070, has one SG on one side and another one on the other side...and .001 increament on the other sides! yea! too bad they didn't know how to package it..Must not have read this thread!

First Hydro break cleaning after last brew. Not bad considering I have been brewing for a little over a year now.

Gotcha beat by a little. Broke one about 3-4 years ago. Got the Herculometer set for Christmas. They will not break.First Hydro break cleaning after last brew. Not bad considering I have been brewing for a little over a year now.
