Hydrometer

[pjeterschornstein]

Hey all!

Just received this hydrometer in the mail today.
Instructions are all Chinese and I'm not even sure if it's the kind I need...
If it is- can someone point me to some instructions?
If not, which kind should I buy?

that's the one I got.. http://www.ebay.de/itm/3Pcs-Hydrome...182673663770?ssPageName=ADME:X:RRIRTB:US:3160

Thanks.

The picture's too small to read the hydrometers. I tried the ebay link, as well, but the pic there don't help, either.

Maybe post some pics of the actual hydrometers and someone can help.

Float each of the hydrometers in distilled water at 60°F. They will read 0.000 if that is the calibration temperature. Try 68°F distilled water if they don't read at 0.000.

edit: The hydrometer should read 1.000. Oops.

I always avoid anything made in China unless there is no other place to buy what I need/want. Good luck my friend.

You might also check a known 1.048 solution and see if they measure that as well. For instance, this BYO article.
