"I ordered the http://www.brewhaus.com/...r-30cm-Premium-P960.aspx hydrometer, what is the diameter of that or what size copper tubing should I use? 3/4""?

Thanks,
Bod"

Hi Bod,
Some are made with 3/4" pipe and work ok but I've heard some people say it is a little tight and must be perfectly level to keep from touching the sides, so I made mine out of 1" pipe. Hope this helps....

That is gorgeous and I going to make one very similar! Thanks for the picture!

How tall is the 1" tubing?

The tubing is 12 1/2" with the end cap and I soldered a 1 1/4" long piece of tubing onto the bottom of the cap to go in the stand.
