Product Description
Brewers track wort strength and fermentation progress in degrees Plato, and a dedicated Plato hydrometer gives that reading directly. With a thermometer built in, you can record gravity and temperature together from one sample, keeping brewhouse logs consistent and helping you catch a stalled fermentation early.
This listing is for catalog number 6614TS-7: Plato Hydrometer, 15.5 to 24°. The Plato scale expresses extract as percent by weight of wort, so a 5 degree reading means 5 g of extract per 100 g of wort, with the scale referenced at 20°C. Three narrow models cover 0 to 24 degrees in overlapping segments with 0.1 degree steps and Celsius thermometers. A broad 0 to 32 degree model reads in 0.5 degree steps with a Fahrenheit thermometer. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order and keep your lab stocked.
Key Features
- Plato scale – Reads wort extract as percent by weight.
- Internal thermometer – Spirit-filled thermometer in the hydrometer body.
- Fine resolution – 0.1° Plato subdivisions on narrow-range models.
- Range options – Narrow segments or a broad 0 to 32° model.
- Brewing reference – Scale referenced at 20°C.
