How this item fits your brewing setup
This set pairs the measuring instrument with a separate sample holder and its brush. Choose it when both the hydrometer and jar are missing, rather than buying the standalone jar that excludes the meter. A sampling thief is still a separate tool if you need one to draw liquid from the fermenter.
The selected offer declares specific gravity0.990–1.170, Brix/Balling 0–35 and potential alcohol 0–22%. The three scales serve fermentation testing; potential alcohol is not a direct reading of finished beverage strength. Record the initial and later density readings for an appropriate alcohol estimate.
The jar is specified as borosilicate 3.3 glass and has a protective ring. The maker’s approximately 125 mL sample guidance describes the working amount with the recommended hydrometer, not a certified maximum volume. Allow the instrument to float without touching the sides or bottom.
The package includes a brush, cloth, instruction sheet and protective storage for the glass instrument. The brush reaches the narrow jar for cleaning, and the maker directs washing and sanitizing before testing. Compare a standalone instrument or jar if the other components are already in your setup.

Questions about this product
What else should you know?
Do I also need the standalone Brewing America test jar?
This selected kit already includes a glass jar. Compare the standalone jar when replacing only that component.
Does it include a way to draw liquid from a carboy?
No sampling thief is listed in this kit. Choose a suitable sampler separately if the vessel requires one.
Is the potential-alcohol scale a final-strength measurement?
No. It is a brewing reference. A final alcohol estimate needs appropriate initial and later readings and an applicable method.
