How to use the wine maker?

Vinomer-sugar, which is also called a hydrometer, is a measuring device necessary for all brewers and winemakers. The device determines the specific gravity and quantity of sugar in the liquid, thereby enabling the beverage recipe to be adjusted during the manufacturing process. How to use a wine maker is in this article.

Device design

The device has the form of a sealed glass tube, one end of which is narrow and the other wide. The wide part has a loaded and enlarged bottom. It is often supplied with a high and thin graduated cylinder, into which the liquid to be measured must be filled.

The hydrometer allows:

1. Measure the specific gravity of the liquid.
2. Conduct accurate calculations, artificially increasing the percentage of alcohol.
3. Measure the volume of natural sugar present in the beverage.
4. Determine the potential percentage of alcohol when changing the concentration of sugar and yeast.
5. Evaluate the course of fermentation.
6. Determine the percentage conversion of alcohol during fermentation, recording the readings "before" and "after".
7. Determine the moment when the fermentation will come to an end.

How to use a sugarmaker?

Instructions on how to properly use a wine-sugar saver:

1. Fill the sterilized measuring cup with a sample of wort or wine and place it on a flat and firm surface.
2. Carefully lower the device into the graduated cylinder, turning it gently.
3. Remove your hand and wait for the hydrometer to stop moving and stop, without touching the walls of the glass.
4. Read the lower part of the meniscus.

Experienced winemakers are advised to take measurements twice to obtain a more accurate result.

How to use a capillary wine maker?

This device allows you to accurately determine the strength of an alcoholic beverage.

Instructions for use:

1. Scoop the drink with the funnel of the device so that it is half full.
2. Do not turn it over, wait for 7-10 drops from the thin part.
3. Now turn the wine tester and place it on a flat surface with a funnel down.
4. To trace how the measured liquid slowly descends on the capillary and stops at any mark, which will determine its strength.

Now it is clear how to use a domestic wine maker. It is very important to observe the temperature conditions, that is, the temperature of the measured liquid should correspond to the temperature at which the wine tester was calibrated.
