is this the meter used when making wine?

This is a high proof hydrometer. I use it for spirits. I think that there are hydrometers that would be more sensitive and appropriate for wine (ie. they do not go up to 100% alcohol) but I am not an expert.

I doubt it very much. The meter requires power from the USB charge port. If you removed the power from the charge port to see if there is a discharge, the meter would not be powered. Your best option would be to modify a USB cable and connect in a milli-ammeter

No... but I really like the heavy "feel" and quality of this meter. Easy to use, nice display

Yes, it comes with a battery-operated meter, They all do. Great tasting water!

No, that is not how it works ... Hold aerator over glass and pour wine through for instant aeration; mixes proper amount of air in right amount of time.

I found it to be accurate. Keep in mind that I use it to test grapes for ripeness, so I randomly sample. However, over the span of 4 weeks, the readings consistently increased, over the course of 8 samplings as the grapes ripened. I hope this helps.

We are using it for sodas, beer and water. So I can't answer the question regarding wine

As long as it is a liquid, if there is alcohol in the liquid i know it will not give an accurate read (usually too high). These are intended to be used before fermentation. I would suggest getting a hydrometer and plastic cylinder for more accurate readings. Typically you will need around 10-12 fluid oz to fill the cylinder and get a reading. A hydrometer is around 8-10 bucks usually

Yes. The meter comes with a bottle of control solution to initially setup up the meter and to use anytime you feel like the readings are too high/low. :-)

YES, It is the perfect meter to used with a solar inverter. This one wins hands down.

No it doesn't. It's best used when pouring your wine into a carafe or decanter.

I suppose it depends on what you are making. I've used it to test the temperature of Hollandaise sauce and it worked fine for that purpose.

I ordered about 3 month ago this model refractometer. I bought also one wine triple scale hydrometer (Specific gravity,BXº and % potencial alcohol).Comparing them,(hydrometer and refractometer) ,i found the relative wrong in BXº readings are so small as 1.5%,and Specific gravity are smaller than this. Comparing refractometer results readings with theorical values of one BXº vs. S.G setting chart,I found relative wrongs reachs up to 6.8%.

No, I have not done that. However, the readings I get are consistent with the temperature setting on my wine coolers, and even those that are lying down in the garage are reading the ambient temperature correctly. Not a critical thing, but kind of fun.

Hi Norman, I'm not familiar with craftsman digital meters I only use fluke or ideal.

Although I have not used it for that purpose the meter is absolutely sensitive enough to detect very slight differences in volume.

I believe it is a spectrophotometer type sensor. I have sold the unit as it was not suitable for professional commercial printing work. However, I believe the tool would work well for interior design and similar applications.
