Hydrometers
Use a brewing hydrometer to check the specific gravity of your homebrew beer, wine, lager or cider. You simply place the brewing hydrometer in your liquid at 20°C and read off the scale on the side.
If you are looking for a homebrew hydrometer, there are 2 types of brewing hydrometer:
1 - Beer & Wine Hydrometers - For measuring the sugar dissolved in your homebrew beer, wine, lager, mead or cider.
2 - Spirit Alcohol Hydrometers - For measuring the alcohol by volume in spirits.
When brewing, take a reading with your Beer & Wine hydrometer before you add your yeast to your beer, wine lager, cider or spirit wash. This will tell you how much sugar is dissolved in your must and will give you a reading on the specific gravity scale. 1.000 is water with no sugar. You can then use the beer and wine hydrometer to check the progress of your fermentation and use the hydrometer to determine when your fermentation has finished. A beer and wine hydrometer can be used with Beer, lager, cider & Wine and will show you the amount of sugar in your juice, must or wort. Use the reading at the start of the fermentation (called the Original Gravity (OG)) and compare this to the reading at the end of the fermentation (called Final Gravity (FG)). You can use these 2 figures to calculate the alcohol content of your beer, cider, lager and wine.
Spirit Hydrometers measure the amount of alcohol in a distilled spirit like vodka or whisky or gin. The scale on the hydrometer tell you alcohol content of the spirit. This will not show an accurate reading if the spirit has extra sugars added, e.g. a liqueur. If you are using a still to distil spirits, then use this hydrometer to see the alcohol content of your distilled spirit. You can then use this to see how much water you need to add to bring the ABV to a respectable level.

from 224 reviewsI made my first ever wine, blackberry wine using this bag after following David on his Youtube video, great product, less mess and easy to use. Thank you David for your help and support with my order.
Easy kit to brew. Pleasant, very refreshing apple flavour ideal for lazy summer days in the sun. Very impressed and intend to try others in this range.👍
It takes a bit longer to ferment than the cheaper kits, but it does create a very nice wine. I will be doing more kits from OTH in the coming months.
I bought this cider tin. I have wanted to have a go at making myself some cider/ beer as I have never made anything before. So I got myself a kit and bought this tin . Stir ,stir , cider enhancer . Topped off with 300 g of sugar and 18 litres of water. Added the yeast and waited a week. . Then I had to switch it to a new vessel and stir in the fruit flavour . I did not bottle this cider , I put it in a corny keg and force carbonated the liquid. It was ready just in time for a bbq I do for my work mates 3 times a year. I do have my own proper beer pumps . I put on Stella , strong bow dark fruit . Fruli strawberry beer, Guinness , and strawberry and lime kopparberg. Along with this home made cider through a Lindr machine. All the other beers were ignored and this cider was drained before the clock struck 6 pm . I got 1 glass . But I am pleased to say I was very impressed with this drink . Buy it . You will not be disappointed. Top tasting cider.
Nice to have bottles all the same, good quality well packaged. Shape of bottles fits corker very well also.
It was the first kit I ever did, it’s a quality lager, I always make it 19 litres so it’s a bit darker and quite a bit stronger lol happy brewing everyone
Great product
The resultant brew was very successfully received my only issue was that there were no labels included!
nice drink, ands saves a fotrune compared to shop prices. these kits are teriffic value for money, and i make them in a fortnight. sugar cost included, works out about £1 a bottle, compared to shop prices(in scotland anyway). no more shop buying wine for me anyway
This system is ideal for bottling, allowing both hands to be free. Simple, no mess, and minimal cleaning up.
Excellent service and fast delivery thanks.I am making a 2 can batch of cider as an experiment .
Brewbitz are very friendly and reliable seller.Alway happy to answer any questions.vineco kit came well packaged with very easy to follow instructions, hopefully with good results.
this kit is the best smooth and good flavour this seller is value of money and arrived very quickly
I have found this to be the best Cider kit I have ever made going with the advice from the video that Davin put up. I just used two tins no sugar and I made 5 gallons I bottled so many, and also purchased a 2 gallon barrel from them, which again was excellent for the job, highly recommended service and advice from Davin Would definitely highly recommend them all
Great to see different flavour range from the muntons tap room kits I made the peach to their own kit fab results after few weeks storage peach flavour came through well cant wait to try other flavours
