What is the difference between an alcometer and a standard hydrometer?
A standard hydrometer measures liquid density to estimate sugar content and is used for beer and wine. An alcometer is calibrated specifically for distilled spirit to read ABV directly. Do not use a beer or wine hydrometer to measure spirit strength - you will get an inaccurate reading.
