Can this be used to test the alchohol in wine ? Thanks

It's typically for distilled spirits. This is the one you need for wine. http://www.amazon.com/Hydrometer-Triplescale/dp/B0064O94I0/ref=sr_1_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1384175905&sr=1-1&keywords=hydrometer

It has been my experience at some tastings that sample volumes tend to be small. In those cases it may be a concern. If sampling with regular normal fill glasses of wine I would say there would be not enough cross-contamination to notice.

I have no idea. If there is alcohol in it then no. If not, then perhaps. Either way should not affect effectiveness.

I am not sure, but I would give it a try. I am out of Goof Off, if I had some I would pre-test it for you.

Probably not. It works on the pigments in red wine. It's not an all purpose stain remover.

My guess would be yes, if it is diluted, but I don't know for sure. I am happy to run a test for you, but I don't know how long that would take. :)

Yes you can. I use mine for testing the temperature for lye when I'm soap making. Its one less thing you need to wash and it works very well even at a distance

Yes, but you need to rinse it as you use it. As you know, wine can be quite sticky. Rinse as you go, and you'll have no problems!

Mine was not a tester. It was full and came in an aluminum bottle. I love it!

I would say no, JR. There are three racks, precisely measured for bottles of wine. Depending on the size of your beer bottle, you might be able to improvise!

no. when its turned on it starts a countdown from 15 seconds,then you blow until it clicks and then it gives a readout.only if no alcohol is in system will it give a 0 readout

I would definitely say yes. I have carbonated grape juice with this yeast, and get good results after just a day of so. I make very dry, very strong apple wine with this yeast, as well as good grape wine from Concorde grape juice concentrate. Good luck!

I don't know for sure, however, ive used it with both beer and wine and it is wonderful!! the yeast just explode into activity! so, I would imagine that it would work for that as well. if I was you, I would not broadcast my intentions on the internet. someone will tell on you! count on it. but im sure that this will aid in creating a good mash for whatever reason. I highly recommend this product.

Sure it can test any water. You just need to know what your levels need to be for the spa

So you want to make a hand sanitizer. I don't know if it would work, but you could try it out. I doubt it would stop the sanitizing effect of the alcohol, but I am not sure how the thickener would interact with alcohol. So far I have only used it with food products.

Yes, This can be used for moonshine. It is just 'food for the yeast' --watch your alcohol % .. the yeast you choose will need to have a higher tolerance for alcohol. If you get the wrong yeast it will not proof out for you. ` Happy brewing!

I got it as a gift for my boyfriend. He uses it all the time. Not only does it work for vodka, but other alcohol/drinks. I would recommend it for anyone that likes to experiment with drinks.
