True mark of a brewer?
...or true mark of a clumsy oaf?!
Question: how many hydrometers have you broken?
Yesterday I dropped another one, which smashed into a million shards of glass all over the room. Pretty sure that's #3 for me. Dang it!
C'mon, someone PLEASE be clumsier than me!

None yet. Smashed a floating thermometer though.
Ingredients: Water, Barley, Hops, Yeast, Seaweed, Blood, Sweat, The swim bladder of a sturgeon, My enemies tears, Scenes of mild peril, An otter's handbag and Riboflavin.
Re: True mark of a brewer?
I will own up to smashing one.......zillions of tiny lead balls everywhere
Re: True mark of a brewer?
1 glass sample jar and one glass thermometer, but no hydrometer...yet.

True mark of a brewer? Probably. Not done it yet. Have the jump on dropping non waterproof digitals (ph meters and thermometers) into mash tuns and sterilising buckets though.

Re: True mark of a brewer?
Professoinal saccharometers are even worse. I'm shudder to think how many of them I've taken out at £50 a pop.

A fair few before I got my refractometer, luckily the latter is pretty hardy.

Re: True mark of a brewer?
Only broke one hydrometer. I use a refractometer now on brew day, much more robust.

Re: True mark of a brewer?
Not broke one, but one ended up rattling as the stuff at the bottom was loose... Got rid of it anyway
