Just fill the tube 3/4 of the way with your distillant, drop in your meter. The distillant level will be your mark for what the percentage of alcohol it is.

"thanks for the reply tiki. I think that I might of got things out of context.
I've done the drop into the measuring beaker, and it floats around the 72 mark;
Question is how to calculate the proof of the hooch, is it 70 proof??"

"your alcohlmeter measures percentage not proof. proof is half of percent. so your 72% is 144 proof. percentage is referred to as abv (alcohol by volume). You want to be real careful with this. here is a link that is great. http://homedistiller.org/frontpage.htm. it has an answer for most questions. You will find that the people here are real friendly and helpfull."
