2251
Knocked my 1.070 hydro with the sample tube and all off my counter. /sigh
Before I sold my micro, I’d broken 7 legal hydrometers at £55 ($75) a pop !
The hydrometer I purchased in 1987 went last night. Had it at the computer to read the different scales while typing a reply. Just stuck the tube in my pocket to take downstairs later. Tube hooked on the chair arm flipping into the air. Landed in two pieces. First one purchased. First one broken.
It read 4 points high so hadn't been used since 1995 when I had bought a new one.
2251 + 7 + 1 + 1 = 2260Dropped while washing up after brew day last weekend. Dam slippery PBW. Batch number 13 .

Never not have a spare squirreled away for a rainy day.I was at the LHBS today getting ingredients for a couple of batches. I thought of this thread, and picked up a hydrometer. I've been using the same one for 6 years and figured my luck wasn't going to hold out forever.
A pro brewer gave me this at least 10 years ago and I still have it intact. I use the refractometer while brewing, but this is my FG tool.2263. Had one of those "lab grade" hydrometers that only measure from .98 to 1.02, to get a good look at the finish gravity.
Slipped from my fingers, only banged just a little bit on the sink, and then lots of little lead balls all over the sink.
I just ordered two more. One, obviously, as a spare.

Going to my LHBS tomorrow to see if they have any precision labgrade ones.
You know me so well!!!Assume that’s because you’ve had such great luck this month with delicate glass objects? In for a penny, in for a pound! Why break $15 widgets, when $50 widgets are readily available!
