Must Hydrometer / Mustmeter

A must hydrometer (mustmeter) is a measuring instrument used primarily in winemaking to measure the density and sugar concentration of grape must.

By measuring the sugar content before and during fermentation, it can help the winemaker monitor the fermentation process and estimate the potential alcohol content of the finished wine.

Uses:

• Measuring the sugar concentration of grape must
• Checking grape must before fermentation
• Monitoring changes during wine fermentation
• Helping estimate the potential alcohol content
• Suitable for winemaking and wine production

How it is used:
The instrument is placed in a container filled with grape must and allowed to float freely. The reading is taken from the graduated scale at the liquid level.
