I bought a beer hydrometer recently er well it seemed recent was actually 1975, but time passes fast when your having fun.
It came in a plastic tube with a push fit lid and full printed instructions on how to use a it, it had an amount of sugar calculator, potential % alcohol scale and was well made in glass with a nice sexy black painted bottom......
I went to use it today to check the FG on my Old Conkerwood Ale that's already been racked once and is awaiting bottling. I picked up the tube by the wrong end ! Out popped the hydro like an Exocet missile, landing belly first on the solid garage floor. Aaaagh!
Oh bugger.... yet another trip to the lhbs required.
Its quite upset me tho... a long standing friend passing away. I know the shop only stocks unsexy plastic ones.....
