Thank you so much sir! I have been contemplating one of these as I am starting my own small Mead business in the UK and was looking at progressing from tradition hydrometer to one of these and your video has sold it to me. Such an indepth video and all of my questions about this product have been answered by you more than the company that makes it them self! I hope they are aware of your hard work reviewing their product 😁

@@ShortCircuitedBrewers One last question though, with the ABV reading is there a minimum it has to be for this feature to work? I noticed that easydens video states you need sg and fg for abv to be calculated? surely that defeats the point of this unit if you need them before abv is calculated. I want to test final abv of my high abv mead and low abv session meads as a double check without the other readings having to be present?

@ShortCircuitedBrewers Год назад
You can manually add the starting gravities of the liquid so it will calculate everything if you did not capture an initial reading.👍🍻

This was excellent (as always). Picked one up a few weeks ago after watching your review, and it really is everything I hoped. Fast, accurate, super stingy with wort, and a breeze to use and clean. Now I can rely on the Tilts for what they do best (temperature and tracking fermentation activity) and use the EasyDens for accurate OG, FG, and as many points in between as I want. For folks who really want to know the actual gravity numbers and have accurate ABV and brewhouse efficiency numbers, I think it's worth every penny. Cheers!

Thanks for the review sir!! The Easydens is definitely a "nice to have" tool because up here in Canada it's expensive ($500 + applicable taxes CAD) so I'm curious if there are many (or any) users from a homebrew perspective. I could totally see this being used in a commercial nano brewery. I guess each Homebrewer's going to have to weigh the pros/cons of the Easydens vs standard methods (hydrometer / refractometer) and choose what's right for them.
@ShortCircuitedBrewers
@ShortCircuitedBrewers 2 года назад
Yeah I completely understand it's expensive and cost prohibitive in a lot of situations. I do agree completely with you on the nano Brewery side. I know there are quite a few home Brewers that do have the device though. I do like the fact that it has a lot of uses outside of just specific gravity though if you're into that sort of hobby. 👍🍻

Run the tilt during ferment and also use this guy. The tilts are great to see when things are done (calibration process is too complicated). I wish it could figure out abv at a given point on the wort / beer but otherwise love it. That said. Digital refractometer has always been my favorite. I broke mine and replaced with this and I still like refractometer better.

Initially I loved this device. During brewing it accidentally dropped off the table and bounced off my foot. The measurement tube broke. Took it apart and it looks unrepairable. Total drop was around 24”. Only difference between this and the manual one is around 300$ when this one breaks. This device is way too sensitive for my brewing kit.
