bluefish_dist Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 If by certified, you mean calibrated, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGL Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 You need calibrated hydrometers for everything in the distillery. If it aint calibrated then who knows if it's 120 proof or 130 proof? You also need to do it yearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefish_dist Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 From Cole pharmer, the basic hydrometer runs $35-$40. The real cost is calibration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silk City Distillers Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Cole-Parmer is currently the cheapest source, they are much cheaper than Nova-tech now. I bought a couple of the H-B Durac stems as spares from Walmart.com once, of all places, at something like $25 each. Every once in a while they'll send customers a 20% coupon, which does apply to calibration costs, which is a pretty big deal. Only thing, who knows about the timing.

Wasnt tryin to be rude. Just was short of time. I am not google and did provide help, it would have taken jrfalcon less time to write 'hydrometer' in the search bar and get the results he needed than it would have taken for me to copy and past all the links. There is more information in that search engine than in this entire thread so theres no point in going any further than the search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
