Alcohol Meter Set 0–100% with Thermometer & Wooden Case
Alcohol Meter Set 0–100% with Thermometer & Wooden Case
Measure alcohol concentration with confidence using this 3-Piece Household Alcohol Meter Set. Spanning the full range from 0–100% ABV across three precision glass alcoholmeters (0–40, 40–70, and 70–100), this kit gives home brewers, distillers, and hobbyists an accurate, easy-to-read tool for every concentration level. Each meter is crafted from clear glass with crisp scale markings, and the set includes a thermometer for temperature-corrected readings — so you always get reliable results.
The entire set arrives in a sturdy wooden storage case that keeps all three meters and the thermometer protected, organized, and ready to use. Two color options are available to suit your preference.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does a household alcohol meter (alcoholmeter) measure?
A: An alcoholmeter measures the percentage of alcohol by volume (ABV) in a liquid. It works by using the principle of density — alcohol is less dense than water, so the meter floats at different levels depending on the alcohol concentration. This 3-piece set covers the full range from 0% to 100% ABV, making it ideal for home brewing, wine making, and distilling projects.
Q: Why do I need three different alcoholmeters instead of just one?
A: Each alcoholmeter is calibrated for a specific concentration range (0–40%, 40–70%, or 70–100%) to deliver the most precise readings within that range. Using a single wide-range meter often sacrifices accuracy. With three dedicated meters, you get fine, clearly spaced scale markings in each range — giving you far more reliable results no matter what concentration you are testing.
Q: How should I clean and store the alcohol meters?
A: Rinse each glass meter with clean water after use and allow it to dry completely before storing. Always place the meters and thermometer back in the included wooden case to prevent breakage and keep the instruments in top condition. Avoid sudden temperature changes which can stress the glass.
Q: Is the wooden case included in the set?
A: Yes! This set comes complete with a wooden storage case that holds all three alcoholmeters and the thermometer securely. The case makes storage and transport easy, and helps protect the glass instruments from damage.
