Ok, so I'm gonna ask a total n00b question;
I see info about making sight glasses, having sight glasses, etc.
I know what one is....per se.... but what exactly is it for? I was under the impression I could use it in place of my hydrometer.... "I like a sight glass because I don't have to guess at the angle to get my gravity".
However, everything else I've seen seems to point to only using it to get an accurate read of your volume, be it in your mash tun, or your brew kettle.
I'm just trying to decide if it's worth the work to add it on, etc.
Thanks!
