Nice and stable, deep enough for a long-stemmed Stevenson Reeves hydrometer all the way down to dry wine gravities

The 100 ml trial jar from Wilco's is very accurately calibrated!

 

[prolix]

I don't need accuracy I need pretty :lol:

Some how that's like washing your car, it doesn't go any faster! :whistle:

But you can't see through the thing so it's not a fat lot of use as a trial jar.


Sorry Prolix, I know exactly what you mean, if I have to concede to getting dragged around that place I do so under protest, and I will try to control my temper for about 45 minutes. Spotting something like that almost justified the trip. I bought 2, just in case.

The ladies are having an IKEA xmas shopping trip here in Turkey to IZMIR so the orders in - if they have those here at all - funnily enough one asked me if it had anything to do with winemaking - ha ha :

In that case, Wilko's must have made one especially for me!
I can see through mine to read hydrometers!

 

[Moley]

You know what I mean, mine's translucent polypropylene, and unlike glass or clear polycarbonate I can't easily read a hydrometer through it without squinting through a magnifying glass.

Oh dear Adi, anno Domini is so insidious! :twisted:

yeah, same here.

That Ikea one looks like it's just the ticket.

mine too :thumb:

My fear is how much that £1.99 escalates if the mrs heads to IKEA - could end up bloody expensive trial jar

 

[prolix]

those Ikea jars are blooming expensive, it cost me a fortune not including food and petrol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am never telling the missus I am nipping out to Ikea again. Went out for a trial jar came back with three cabinets, a wardrobe and as we were near a washing machine!!!!! And I had to put the buggers together as well with no help!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a £2 pound glass jar for goodness sake!

But it is pretty

 

[Moley]

Oh dear, exactly as Hawks had feared and predicted, sorry

At least we did it the other way around, went for a corner desk and a mattress and also came away with a trial jar.
