Saccharometer

Balling s saccharometer is used in Europe and is practically identical with the Brix hydrometer. 

Bates brewers saccharometer which is used in determining the density of malt worts is graduated so that the divisions express pounds per barrel (32 gallons). The relation between degrees Bates (=b) and degrees Balling (=B) is shown by the following formula B =... 

Saccharometers usually contain in their lower part a thermometer the bulb of which constitutes, wholly or partially, the weight of the instrument Like hydrometers they are mostly graduated to be read at the level of the horizontal surface of the liquid, i.e., at the base of the meniscus some for dark liquids are an exception. 

In order to avoid the necessity of using such a table, some saccharometers are marked, beside the thermometer column, with the mean correction to be applied to the apparent degree at different temperatures. In any case it is always advisable to use saccharometers at temperatures not far from the normal in order to obtain reliable results. 

The extract may also be determined indirectly with sufficient accuracy by determining the specific gravity of the solution and deducing the percentage of dissolved matter (calculated as saccharose) by means of tables (e.g. that used for calculating the extract of wines see later) or by means of a saccharometer. 

In this country a legal obstacle prevents the use of the amylo process it is a statutory requirement that the specific gravity of distillers wort before fermentation shall be ascertained by means of the saccharometer, and, of course, this is impossible.
