Hi I received my glass parrot today to use with my air still. My hydrometer looks like it could be a bit big for it. Anyone recommend one to buy to use with it.

Thanks

If it's the StillDragon parrot, then they do a cute little hydrometer called a BabyFire to go with it - https://www.stilldragon.eu/en/meters/408-babyfire-hydrometer.html.

That having been said, although it's a bit tight, my ordinary one goes in as well, though I must admit I've stuck with the BabyFire for now.

Cheers

It's cool. I got the parrot delivered to my parents house but got it home now and my ordinary one just fits in so hopefully all will be ok.

Thanks anyway I might buy that one anyway.

I use a pretty standard alcometer and, using the glass parrot, it would have to exceed about 97%abv before it touched bottom.
