Abstract:
A process for measuring the viscosity of a potable liquid contained in a beverage container using a food viscometer having a body, a base section vertically adjustable relative to the body and having a lower surface for resting contact with the upper edge of the beverage container, and a probe for insertion into the potable liquid, the process comprising the steps of:calibrating the food viscometer;positioning the lower surface of the base section securely against the upper edge of the beverage container;adjusting the height of the body of the food viscometer relative to the base section of the food viscometer so that the probe extends a predetermined distance into the potable liquid contained in the beverage container;actuating the food viscometer; andreading the display of the food viscometer to determine the viscosity of the potable liquid contained in the beverage container.
