I use the plastic tube they come in......I've got lots of them, get a new one ever time I get a new hydrometer.
​They don't stand very well though bit wobbly.

hey Carlos - is that >18.5mm ID?

looks beautiful!

update - a mate at work heard me whinging about lack of HBS in city and said he had a kit from Christmas he hadn't even opened, said he'd bring in his tube for me to borrow!

Guess I'm off to IKEA to grab a couple. All my plastic hydrometer tubes are bent and getting worse which makes readings a little tricky

(edit: spelling)

Good news, but after using it tell your mate he's lost about 4 weeks of brewing, I mean that's 60 longnecks!!!!!!!

Not sure mate, I'll check it when I'm home this evening....

Fits my standard hydrometer though...

Top find. I'll grab 3. Put roses in 2 to keep SWMBO happy and a spare.

Hey mate, I have measured this up and it looks like the internal diameter is about 25mm. So plenty of room for some beer around the hydro.

I can tell you drinking the sample afterwards is much better from glass too! :kooi:
