Definitions for "Balling"
Keywords:  hydrometer, brix, sugar, juice, gravity
Also known as "Brix." The Balling scale on a hydrometer is commonly used by winemakers and commercial brewers in the same way the Specific Gravity scale is used by Brewers. The Balling scale estimates the percentage by weight of dissolved solids in the solution. That is, a reading of 19o on the Balling scale shows that the solution is composed of approximately 19% solids by weight. The "solids" are almost completely sugars, and the use of the balling scale assumes the reading to be synonymous with sugar content. Most wines begin in the 19o to 24o balling range, and ferment out to just below 0o. The Balling scale can thus be used to estimate alcohol content, since roughly one percent of alcohol is created for each reduction of two degrees balling. A hydrometer with a Potential Alcohol scale measures alcohol content more precisely.
A scale for measuring the specific gravity of a solution. Created by Carl Joseph Balling.
A measurement of specific gravity. A measurement of the amount of sugar in grape juice.
Refers to the action of worker bees surrounding a queen who is unacceptable, they are trying to kill her by pulling her legs, wings, and by stinging and suffocation; the bees form a small cluster or ball around this queen.
