I Broke My Thingy

[bcp]

Hydrometer company meeting.

Marketing officer: ...but with these plastic caps and tubes, sir, you'll notice that any heat, bit of moisture, or even just a little centrifugal force... (smash, tinkle)...will help increase our hydrometer sales of by about 40% per annum.
Executive: I like the way you're thinking, Jonesy! When can we start production?

Bastards!!

I broke one hydrometer. Realised not to hold it in your hand when you turn the tap on could the brigalow ones be calibrated to 15 deg??? as it seems all the US sites for calculating true SG is all calculated at 15 deg not 20deg as I found both the ones I have had are

This is exactly how i broke my third hydrometer... and about the same time i bought a refractrometer

Exactly why don't they make these out of plastic or something. Other than to keep the soaring salaries and outlandish sports cars that hydrometer executives must have

Damn broke my hydrometer today, lasted 60 brews, but what a silly thing to do.
Was using my right hand, am left handed, just should not be in a rush.

Had to rely on my 40 year old hydrometer, must get another one or look at a refractometer.

Damn

Broke my first one one last weekend. Bugger, I tried to look at it as a notch on the bedpost or a badge of honour to make me feel better
