Do you use a tilt hydrometer? I know snafflebit does from his beautiful graphs..anyway, how do you suspend your tilt in the must so as to have it float unhindered? I have mine in a ss hop basket, but the cap keeps pushing it up and the tilt then does not float.

I have a Tilt but so far I have used it only on kit wines with no skins or Skeeter Pee (no fruit).

I am going to start a Dragonblood batch soon so I may try using the Tilt just to see what kind of data I get, but I don't expect it will work well. I will verify everything with a hydrometer even if it looks like it's working.
