I"m more interested in measuring grape juice for wine making. how will this work in the field for grapes?

It works great on the original gravity reading. If you are making alcohol then you will need to convert the final gravity or use a hydrometer

There is no way I would know for certain. My recommendation to everyone is to contact the manufacturer. I do know that the process of preparing grape leaves includes washing, rinsing, and boiling.

I suppose it will measure the water sample but not speciffically the mix. Just the soil, I dont think it works.

I made a grape juice recipe in this 1 gallon wine jar with the airlock and it works really well and because its glass the 1st and 2nd fermentation process can take place using this jar.

Hello, Thank you fot the message. We asked this from the manufacturer and they told us the item might be work for measuring residual sugar. But there is no example before, Hope it works, Thanks

I haven't used it for grapefruit, but I think it would work just as well as it does for other citrus fruits. If the grapefruit is a really big one, you might have to move it around to get all of it juiced.

I haven't used it for grapefruit, but it's a GREAT juicer and I think it'd work well for grapefruit. You'd just probably have to rotate the rind and press the sides a little more, but again, I love this juicer.

Very accurate for determining Brix in grapes. I tested it after fermentation for measuring residual sugar and it didn't give a good reading

The scale on the hydrometer reads from 0 to 100% of alcohol by volume and 0-200 percent Proof of Spirit. The hydrometer is for distilled alcohol only. It cannot be used for beer, wine or any other fermented beverage according to the label. There is also a temperature correction chart for temperatures reading below and above 60 degrees F.

I don't know if this would work. I don't know that much about making wine but I use this to put my "already made wine" in to keep set at specific temps. If you need the wine at a certain temp to ferment then you could probably use this because it lets you set the temp to whatever you need. Hope that helps.

I use the tester to check the acidity in the water for my plants. I add lemon juice and vinegar (equal Parts) to raise the acidity in a five gallon bucket of water. So I will say yes to your question. The tester seems to work better in water than in soil. I hope this helps.

Yes, you can find several calculators online to compensate for the alcohol after fermentation. I have a refractometer and a hydrometer and I used an online calculator that wasn't accurate for this use. Plus it uses a much smaller sampling size compared to a hydrometer.

I think it will work just fine for beverages because it's a tester for liquid but it's not suited to test solids.

We collect our white grapes for wine gradually as they ripen and then freeze them. When we finish harvesting them, then we thaw them for making wine. The act of freezing and thawing actually breaks them open and there is juice in the bag when thawed. We have used a hand crank juicer that is a pain and has to be stopped a lot to clean out the sieve. It takes a good day to do and when we are done we have enough for 6 gallons of juice, mostly. We are hoping this will do a better job if not it can help with the tomatoes, apples and asian pears that we have.

Daniel, If you're careful you should be able to do that. I use it to check the temperature of tea in a tea pot sometimes and it's right on the money with that. I'd recommend taking a couple readings on different spots and going with what seems to be the most consistent. Id also recommend pointing it at the label instead of the glass. You may in fact be reading the temperature of the glass - but it should be pretty close if not exactly the temp of the wine inside. Also, don't make the mistake of thinking the laser is the exact spot the temp is being taken. Place the larger opening on the gun directly on the bottle.

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 compared measurement with thermometer type one, indicator were identical, I used that for grape juce.
