I've been head down focusing on a project that may be really cool.


Since I saw  beaverDIY's diy hydrometers ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjUo3GfVunI ) during the COVID lockdown when I was first starting in distilling,


I have been thinking and working toward making a better way of measuring ABV.

It has been 4 years, I have made MyVodaMaker, and still, a better measuring tool has remained elusive...


Well, after many, many, many failed experiments, I can finally announce that I have made some real progress.

I have found a new way of measuring ABV directly and independent of density.


Apart from it being a freaking digital ABV meter that you use like a digital thermometer, I can directly measure the true ABV in beer, mash, wash, or a cocktail even when there is sugar or CO2 in the solution.


Many novice home brewers or distillers don't know you can't directly measure the ABV in a wash, mash beer, or wine, but soon you will be able to measure the true ABV.


This is quite revolutionary, as prior laborious methods required degassing, quite precise dual readings from a hydrometer and a refractometer, and then a calculation to determine the true ABV, or even more laborious, running an ebulliometer to measure the true ABV.


Now, I introduce the result of four years of research and development: the trueABV meter. It is an accurate, easy-to-read, digital, durable ABV/OG meter unaffected by unfermented sugars or dissolved CO2.


Although I have my patent pending sensor working well on the test bench, I am only now starting with the actual product development.

I have some ideas of my own, but I would like to get community feedback on what you think and would like to see in the ideal ABV meter.


So I have set up a mock product website ( www.trueabv.com ) where you can see the product ideas, and I would love for you to hit the "Comment and Register your interest in the mailing list" button and tell me your thoughts (positive or negative - be brutal)


Thank you

Please share this in your other distilling and brewing communities so I can get feedback and make the ideal ABV meter.
