A standalone one-piece molded plastic jar for holding a sample around a separately purchased hydrometer.

The equipment in use
How this item fits your brewing setup
Choose this jar when you need a sample holder and already have the measuring instrument. The selected offer specifies one-piece molded plastic construction and supplies one jar, without a hydrometer or sampling thief. It is a different material choice from the Brewing America borosilicate jar.
The wide support base and clear cylindrical body are visible in the source photograph. The printed volume marks can help organize a sample, but no volumetric accuracy tolerance is established. The gravity reading comes from a floating hydrometer, not from those volume marks.
Before pairing the jar with a meter, confirm the actual usable depth and internal clearance. The offer’s nominal 14 in title,14.5 in field and 16 in scale illustration do not settle the working height. Neither the overall base width nor a silhouette image proves that a particular bulb will float freely.
The selected supplier describes the plastic jar as dishwasher safe. That does not establish a specific cycle temperature or compatibility with every cleaning chemical. Compare the glass jar-and-brush option if those accessories are also missing, or the three-part testing set if you need the sampler and meter as well.

Advice for this reference
Before you choose
Check actual internal clearance and usable depth with the intended hydrometer.
Also check
Compare holder material and included cleaning accessories rather than nominal height alone.
Documented use & care
The selected source specifies dishwasher-safe care, without a cycle temperature or chemical recommendation.
Connections & scope
Fit and useful limits
- Check the jar’s internal bore and usable height against your hydrometer. Those dimensions and the longest instrument it accepts need confirmation before you can judge fit.
- No calibrated volume tolerance, pressure rating, unlimited alcohol resistance or high-temperature permission is established.
- No hydrometer, thief or brush is included in the selected single-jar offer.
Questions about this product
What else should you know?
Can the printed volume marks replace a hydrometer?
No. They indicate sample volume on the jar. A compatible floating hydrometer provides the density reading.
Does the 14 in title establish my meter’s clearance?
Not reliably. The source gives conflicting height information; confirm usable depth and bore for the actual instrument before pairing them.
Why compare the Brewing America jar?
It offers a borosilicate glass holder and cleaning accessories. This reference is the standalone molded-plastic alternative.
