VEE GEE Plato Hydrometer with Thermometer - 6614TS Series | Brewery Extract Measurement - Made in USA

Accurate extract measurement is the foundation of quality control in commercial brewing and fermentation. VEE GEE 6614TS Series Plato Hydrometers are precisely calibrated to determine the concentration of extract as a percentage by weight in brewery wort (where 1°P equals 1g of extract per 100g of wort). Engineered with an integrated thermometer, these professional-grade instruments eliminate the need for secondary temperature probes, ensuring rapid and accurate readings. Proudly Made in the USA, these glass hydrometers deliver the consistency required by professional brewmasters and quality assurance labs.

Features and Benefits

• Brewery Standard Calibration: Specifically calibrated to show extract concentration in brewery wort at the standard reference temperature of 20°C (68°F).

• Integrated Thermometer: Built-in thermometer (either °C or °F depending on range) allows for immediate temperature verification and reading adjustment without extra equipment.

• High-Precision Scale: Narrow range models (0-8.5°, 7.5-16°, 15.5-24°) feature fine 0.1° subdivisions for highly granular analysis during specific fermentation stages.

• Broad Range Option: The 0 to 32° model provides a comprehensive scale for general purpose brewery analysis and initial extract measurements.

• Proudly Made in the USA: Manufactured domestically from high-quality glass, ensuring strict quality control and dependable instrument accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Plato and Brix?
Both measure the concentration of dissolved solids (primarily sugars). However, the Plato scale is specifically optimized and calibrated for the extract found in brewery wort, while Brix is generally used for sucrose solutions like fruit juices and syrups.

Which Plato range should I choose?
If you need high precision during specific stages of brewing, choose the narrow range models (0-8.5°, 7.5-16°, or 15.5-24°). If you need a single instrument for general testing across the entire brewing process, select the broad 0-32° range.

Do these require a separate temperature correction?
The hydrometers are calibrated for 68°F/20°C. Because they have a built-in thermometer, you can easily read the sample temperature and apply standard correction formulas if your liquid deviates from the calibration point.

Quality Assurance
