Is this gauge suitable for use in brewing?

I use two of these gauges to measure the pressure drop across my whole house water filter. This is the water source from which my family and I drink and cook. Perfect for use in a home brew setup. The glycerin filled section of the gauge is separated from the source of the pressure (e.g. air/water/wort) the gauge measures. It won't get glycerin in your brew.

I have this installed on my water well pressure tank the old one was plastic and crap this is a very well made. I am sorry, but I do not know if it is suitable for brewing. MY water well keeps pressure at about 40- 50 Psi it works great for that. If you brew and your pressure is ion that range I would say go for it.

This is a high proof hydrometer. I use it for spirits. I think that there are hydrometers that would be more sensitive and appropriate for wine (ie. they do not go up to 100% alcohol) but I am not an expert.

Yes. Definitely. And if you're talking about brewing. You're going to be starting around 140-160F from your sparge. It should take about 30 mins to get up to 212F. This is as long as you have 220-240V/30amp power supply.

Hi Edward, Yes, you can still use the gauge. You will need a two stage regulator that has a POL inlet connection. Your gauge would hook inline between your tank and then the regulator.

I don't know. I have not taken the gauges off. I would contact the beverage factory directly and inquire about the specs on this product.

No. THe specific gravity of beer is very close to water (around 8.33 pounds per gallon) so a beer hydrometer is similar to a sap hydrometer. Syrup is around 11 pounds per gallon, so a beer hydrometer would not work.

I would get a 0-30 psi gauge. It would be more accurate for a low pressure reading.

If it don't move probly not working actually I was not to happy with this gauge , I purchased a different one witch I like a lot better, this one seamed so big and stiff ! Good Luck

That's a good question. Unfortunately, I know nothing about brewing beer so I am unable to give you an answer. Sorry

Yes. The gauge on our unit was never great but completely stopped working a few months after we purchased it. IMHO this is a product flaw that Cuisinart needs to address in the next gen.

I don't think you can. I used it to brew kombucha. If you would put it into boiling water it may crack. I'm sorry that I'm not sure

I would think that depends on the moisture level (humidity). It would certainly work but if the gauge itself is in the same high humidity environment as the probe, it might not have as long a life. I use mine at ambient room conditions with the probe in a lab oven at 113F and 70% humidity. Works great but my gauge display is always cool and dry.

Absolutely. Very easy to use, even works with spoke wheels. The gauge has a small pressure release button to release excess pressure if needed ( i.e. if you over inflate.) It is calibrated from 5 psi to 60 psi.

No it's a weldless fitting, it works well thou. I I've brewed a dozen batches of beer with no problem

The gauges on this compressor are industrial quality. Any gauge which sustains a direct hit by a heavy object will break. I have had no problems and have owned it for 2 years.

It works great on the original gravity reading. If you are making alcohol then you will need to convert the final gravity or use a hydrometer

I would not use it to measure oil pressure if that is what you are doing or water pressure in a boiler. I purchased it to measure venter motor pressure on 90 plus gas fornaces and for that it works great.
