Refractometer (Brix & Specific Gravity) Reviews

Refractometer (Brix & Specific Gravity)

This Refractometer is an excellent tool for determining the density of unfermented wort or must, providing quick and accurate readings with only a few drops of sample fluid. It is handheld, and packed with features that make it perfect for homebrewers and winemakers. The refractometer reports measurements in both °Brix and Specific Gravity, and automatically compensates for temperature. The display has an adjustable focus lens, so there is no need to try and look through the eyepiece while wearing glasses. It is made of durable, lightweight materials, and comes with a protective, hard-shell case, a drop applicator, and a screwdriver in case manual calibration is desired. Since alcohol affects the refractive properties of liquids, the refractometer can only be used on unfermented wort or must, or other sugar solutions. Final gravity (density after fermentation) must be calculated, not measured directly.
