After like 3 years I was again brewing beer just for fun and not 2000l batch as my job or trying something on this small scale for my job (because I had a time and got the ingredients for free).
It is really experimental brew. I put 3,5l of grape juice (I think it is Veltlín variety) and will add some cherries there too. So let’s see how it will end up.
I know, it is really handy for checking OG then it gets skewed by alcohol. For bottling I use my hydrometer to be sure, I just don’t want bombs.
When you measure often you can correct it, but for me it isn’t worth it.
