[NHCOLL-L:5510] RE: alcohol meter suggestions?

I use the Mettler-Toledo portable densimeter:

You might also want to consider the Alcomon Indicator System<http://www.alcomon.com/>, which monitors the ethanol concentration without having to open the jar each time to measure concentration/density by weighing a fluid sample. They now offer a 20-50% discount depending on the ordered amount. More info:

Subject: [NHCOLL-L:5502] alcohol meter suggestions?

Does anybody have any recommendations for alcohol meters?  We need a hydrometer and when I was a graduate student we used the old style glass bulb contraption to measure the specific gravity of the fluid in our jars or carboys to determine the percent alcohol content, but surely there's a much better digital version folks are using today?  I've seen a few online, but thought I'd ask for advice from folks in the field.

Thanks,

Kirsten
