    Hydrometer how to test/use

    I got a Hydrometer and I really have no idea how to use it.. Do you need a tube to use it or the plastic tube the hydrometer comes in? Am I looking for the gray stuff at the bottom of the Hydromter to slide up the tube? which end goes into the cider first? :confused:
