The hydrometer is the most breakable piece of wine-making equipment.
I have no idea how many I have broken. Best advice: get a deal on a
half-dozen. It seems like they don't break as easily then.

My brother broke his hydrometer before he started his first batch. He
was giving everything a good cleaning the night before starting his
first, and the hydrometer rolled onto the floor.
