Description
Thick Lake Tester
Brine tester for measuring and determining the salt content in a salt bath or brine.
The higher the reading, the higher the salt content in the water.
Additions to the brine, such as sugar, spices and other additives, change the density of the brine and should always be added only after measuring the salt concentration.
Measuring scale on the spindle:
- 0% water
- 5% pickled eggs
- 8% injected roast (shoulder, ham, etc.)
- 10% injected or pickled ham hock (Gnagi, Wädli)
- 12-15% pork chop (rippli)
- 15-17% cooked ham
- 20% permanent salt
- 25% ship p.
Application:
The hydrometer is placed in the brine and the value is read at the water's surface. Depending on the density of the brine, i.e., its salt content, the hydrometer sinks to a different depth in the liquid.
