Description
*Also works for Cane Syrup!
This dual declaration hydrometer (Brix and Baume) is specially made for maple syrup production.
Red marks make it easy to perform both hot and cold tests. Calibrated at 60° F.
We have tested and proven our hydrometers to be of utmost accuracy. They are shipped via USPS and come in a very sturdy, clear plastic tube. Unlike most cardboard shipping containers, these tubes will not fall apart if they get wet, and they are resilient enough to be used for hydrometer storage year after year.
Hydrometers for testing maple sap are also available.
Instructions and Compensation ChartHydrometer Terms: Due to their fragility, hydrometers are non-returnable and non-exchangeable.
Smoky Lake will replace any hydrometer with an obvious craftsmanship issue (such as a pinhole or a slipped paper in a GOLD series) or any hydrometer that experiences shipping damage, as long as it is reported immediately upon receipt of the shipment.
Due to the inherent fragility of glass, we are unable to warranty any used hydrometers. For this reason, it is the consumer’s responsibility to inspect and report any concerns immediately upon receiving their shipment, and BEFORE using the hydrometer. This is our policy and it allows us to serve you best. Thank you for understanding.
Smoky Lake stands behind the quality and craftsmanship of these hydrometers. In the rare instance you experience a quality concern or shipping damage, please Contact Us Here IMMEDIATELY upon receiving your shipment. Please provide clear photos of the issue, the serial number on the hydrometer, and proof of purchase and we’ll be happy to help.

The scale is great but the quality of the glass unfortunately is not. The first unit I received was damaged (showed some flaws in the glass and had moisture inside) – SM sent out a replacement that lasted all of 2 weeks. In comparison my China made ‘Tap My Trees’ Hydrometer is still going strong after +6 years. Disappointing!
I would not recommend this version. Maybe the Gold Series with the added heat treatment is the way to go? Big fan of what SM is doing and loving their Murphy cup but would not waste a dollar on this Hydrometer…

I don’t agree with the other review here so I wanted to leave a review of my own. This has been a great hydrometer for me. I was here on this page just to purchase a second one as a back up. I love you Smokey Lakes! Keep up the great work.

I checked the reviews and had the same experience as the first reviewer, there just too delicate, i spent $150 on the Murphy cup and would like to use it, i worked in a laboratory and know how to handle delicate glass instruments, going to try the gold series to see if i have better luck
Malcolm –
Nice. Thanks.
