This hydrometer can be used to measure the strength of your distilled spirits. An efficient still should produce more than 90% alcohol (ethanol). Use the hydrometer when diluting your spirits to a drinkable strength.

For spirit strength drinks dilute to 40% – 60% alcohol. Do not add flavouring until after dilution, as this may interfere with the accuracy of the hydrometer.

For liqueur strength drinks dilute to 25% – 35% alcohol. Do not add flavouring until after dilution, as this may interfere with the accuracy of the hydrometer.

NOTE: Before charcoal filtering, dilute to spirit strength!
