Now that I'm doing stripping runs does anyone know where I can get hold of an alcohol hyrometer that is accurate in the lower percentages ? ???

BTW I have a few narrow range meters - they are massive next compared to a standard alcometer, no way will it fit in a parrot.

Also if you are looking for an accurate way of determining when all the alcohol is depleted from the boiler - the cheapest way would be to put a thermo in the still head - run it till it reads 99oC.

Personally I don't bother- I use the standard 0-100 alcometer, when it reads 15% and the output taste like water then I quit stripping.
