The Snap 51 is a digital alcohol hydrometer that measures spirits in the production facility, providing excellent accuracy. One instrument replaces all glass hydrometers used in the distillery, ensuring that every bottle always contains the content that is written on the bottle. The Snap 51 measures the alcohol content of all unsweetened spirits of any strength, throughout the production process. This portable instrument can be used directly at the spirit container, providing results in seconds. This robust, long-lasting instrument uses state-of-the-art technology, allowing the Snap series to measure the highest quality spirits.
