Anton Paar EasyDens

The EasyDens digital hydrometer and Brew Meister mobile app for iOS and Android make measuring the gravity of your wort and tracking fermentation simple and extremely accurate. Just use the included syringe to inject a small 2ml sample into the unit, activate and wait two seconds for a precise specific gravity reading. 

Features Specific Gravity, Plato, Estimated ABV (based on measuring both original gravity and final gravity), Density, and Temperature readings in both F° and C°.

Free downloadable apps (with options to upgrade) are available for Beer,  Wine, and Spirits in iOS and Android. 

In addition, if combined with the Anton Paar SmartRef, you can determine the precise alcohol content of fermenting or finished beer by using the measuring technologies of both units in combination, without knowing starting and finishing gravities. This is the most affordable way to check the exact alcohol content of a beverage.

What is the difference between EasyDens and SmartRef in brewing?

EasyDens is a digital density meter that measures specific gravity and temperature according to the oscillating U-tube principle to determine parameters such as specific gravity (SG) and °Plato directly. EasyDens provides highly accurate specific gravity measurement results throughout the whole brewing process, ideal for passionate home and craft brewers who are looking for a precise measuring device to optimize the brewing process and exploit the full potential of their beer. Think of it as a really precise digital hydrometer, that, when paired with the SmartRef digital refractometer, can also measure the alcohol content of beer, wine or spirits without knowing starting and final gravities. Keep in mind you do not need to buy the SmartRef for alcohol content determination if you record your starting and final gravities with the EasyDens.

SmartRef is a digital refractometer that measures the refractive index and temperature of liquids and determines measurement parameters such as °Brix. However, °Brix refers to sucrose-water mixtures. Since wort is not just a mixture of sucrose and water, adjustments such as wort and alcohol correction must be applied to correctly determine specific gravity and °Plato, and follow the fermentation process. The Brew Meister mobile app already performs these calculations automatically. The correction factors can be specified globally or individually for each batch to ensure accurate results regardless of the beer type. Due to its simple and quick operation, the SmartRef is suitable for measurements during the entire brewing process, especially for beginners. 

The combination of EasyDens & SmartRef enables direct ABV determination of finished beer, wine, kombucha, and spirits with an accuracy of 0.6% v/v without knowing starting or final gravities. Click here for an article on alcohol determination with both the EasyDens and SmartRef.
