Im Pete, from WA and have been getting back into home brewing afetr a few years of going commercial, love the idea of making spirits.Im actually a whisky drinker but as I bought a reflux still, will try and settle for vodka.
Basically, using a beer hydrometer, the water line (the hydrometer) was sitting way above the measurement indicators. the photo doesnt really make it more understandable. If you can decifer the photo you can see that the hydrometer sits too high above the liquid to get a reading.
But I really want to continue with this wash and try and get somethign from it.
Yep, have been reading the TPW is the way to go, will def try that next time.

What's the black stuff floating in that pic?
