Explanation
A zymometer is a scientific tool used to measure how fast fermentation happens. Fermentation is the process where sugar turns into gas or alcohol, for example, when yeast turns dough into bread or juice into wine. Scientists or brewers use a zymometer to check how active the fermentation process is. For example, “The scientist used a zymometer to test how quickly the yeast was working.”
