Abstract

An evaluation of four different methods for determination of the density of a wort sample was undertaken. The results reveal differences in the accuracy and precision of the methods. Of the methods used, the hydrometer was the least accurate and precise instrument for determining the density of wort.

Keywords: density, error in measurement, specific gravity
