The Alcoholometer (Spirit Hydrometer 0–100%) is an essential tool for measuring the ABV of distilled spirits. Unlike a standard brewing hydrometer which measures specific gravity, an alcoholometer measures alcohol percentage directly in distilled or diluted spirit — ideal for checking ABV when diluting spirits to drinking strength.
- Range: 0–100% ABV
- Use when diluting distillate to drinking strength (25–40% for spirits, 15–25% for liqueurs)
- Calibrated for distilled spirit, not beer or wine
- Requires a trial jar for accurate readings
For home brew beer and wine ABV, use a standard brewing hydrometer instead. Use our ABV Calculator to calculate ABV from gravity readings.
