Yeah, definitely time for a new one. Figure this one lasted me 18 years... it was good value. :)

I do have a refractometer, and I guess I can start using it for the pre-fermentation gravities.

While looking around for hydrometer options (BTW Derrin, Austin Homebrew has the 3 narrow range hydrometers on their webpage.), I found something I had not seen before.

Yeah, those look pretty interesting... But since I ferment in a closed stainless tank, I've got no use for them.

No one can resist my Schweddy balls.
