Hey there!
Our homebrewer's toolkit is a bit like Batman's utility belt, although we don't generally fight crime at night while dressed as a symbol of childhood trauma. Our rig has tools for just about every conceivable brewing situation. And while some, like our custom beer-shaped "brewarangs" don't get used very often, we rely on our hydrometer every single brewing day.
Precision matters when you wanna make tasty beer, and using a hydrometer the right way helps us hit our gravity targets. It'll help you hit yours, too. And while you're in Caped Crusader mode, why not find out how to build your own homebrewing laboratory? Or better still, put together a state-of-the-art, computer-controlled brewery that'll fit in your garage, stately manor, or hidden cave? You're on the hook for your own cape, though.
Yes, the rumors are true. We've been watching our weight. Well, not our weight, really. In fact, we may or may not be eating a cheeseburger wrapped in a pizza as we write this. What we are watching is the weight of our grains, hops, and adjuncts. Brewing is a science, and guesswork doesn't do beer any favors.
A digital scale can give you the edge when you're crafting a fine and tasty homebrew. Precision measurements make for better beer, every time. That goes for hydrometers and thermometers, too. And don't forget to check your water chemistry. Depending on your water source and beer style, pH levels can make or break your beer—especially if you're brewing a sour beer to go with, say, a giant pizza burger.
