Yeah, definitely time for a new one. Figure this one lasted me 18 years... it was good value.
I do have a refractometer, and I guess I can start using it for the pre-fermentation gravities.
While looking around for hydrometer options (BTW Derrin, Austin Homebrew has the 3 narrow range hydrometers on their webpage.), I found something I had not seen before.
Either you have the balls to brew.. or you don't...

Re: Hydrometer Readings & Calibration
Hah! I saw those things. If they were considerably larger.... they'd match the balls I brew with..... Because......... I've got big balls...dirty big balls.....
Re: Hydrometer Readings & Calibration
Yeah, those look pretty interesting... But since I ferment in a closed stainless tank, I've got no use for them.

No one can resist my Schweddy balls.
