Two thoughts... I still have my first hydro and tube that I bought it 1999. Yes, it's displayed proudly under glass so I don't actually break it.  Second, I did buy a new one with a sturdier stand because the old tube was easy to knock over. But the one I bought is kind of translucent so it's hard to read the measurement. Make sure the tube is CLEAR. That's all I have. |

I have a Brewing America hydrometer Thant I am quite happy with and careful with as well. It is my second one from them. Yes I broke the first one.

Still have my first one. I still use it but just to compare the results with my Tilts. My Tilts have been very accurate the past 4-6 months.

I keep a plastic hydro jar that I collect my sample out in the garage. I use it to bring the sample into the house. My kitchen is where I keep my Brewing America glass hydro jar and hydrometer, a space clear of junk and room to work.
