Every hydrometer I ever bought had the thermometer built in. What do
auto mechanics know that brewers don't?

Nothing that I know of. You do need to know the temperature of the
wort at all times, and only need to take a beginning gravity and
ending gravity reading, therefore you don't need the hydrometer in the
fermenter all of the time. I use one of those thermometers that change
color at whatever temp. it is. They just stick to the side of the
fermenter.

Ok, you need a separate thermometer. One in a hydro is handy since you
have to somehow correct the density for temperature.

Yep, the hydrometers for brewing use all come with a card or paper
telling you how to adjust for a given temperature.
