Which types of drinks can I measure?
The Alcohol Meter works for many kinds of beverages, including:
- Beer: e.g., strong beer, IPA, stout, porter, pale ale, lager, light beer, session IPA, low-alcohol/alcohol-free beer
- Wine: red, white, rosé, sparkling
- Kombucha: alcoholic & non-alcoholic
- Cider: dry or sweet
- Ready-to-Drink: hard seltzer, flavored alcoholic sparkling water (e.g., lime, mango, berry)
- Spirits: e.g., vodka, gin, rum, whisky/whiskey, tequila
- Liqueurs: e.g., amaretto, triple sec, limoncello, herbal liqueurs
What is the measurement principle of the Alcohol Meter?
The Alcohol Meter combines two measurement principles: EasyDens measures the liquid’s density using an oscillating U-tube, while SmartRef measures the refractive index based on how light bends when passing through the sample. By combining both values, the system accurately measures ABV in finished beverages.
How do I clean my Alcohol Meter?
Rinse the glass tube of the EasyDens with warm water, followed by distilled water, and let it dry. Clean the SmartRef by rinsing the sample well with distilled water, then wipe it with a soft tissue.
What does temperature compensation mean?
As temperature has a significant impact on the density and refractive index of liquids, it is necessary to subject measured values to temperature correction to make them comparable. Temperature compensation is the process of correcting measured values to eliminate undesired temperature influences.
EasyDens and SmartRef perform temperature compensation automatically for you.
