This hand-held
optical refractometer measures the density of sugars in the
solution and gives you an instant gravity readings at any point
during the boil, or run off from the mash. You do not need to
convert the reading from Brix to specific gravity or do an
adjustments for temperature. Great for quick and frequent check on
the gravity of your running or while sparging, and also for those
who do not like to deal with the temperature compensation necessary
with a hydrometer. Unlike a hydrometer, it only requires a very
small amount sample, about **3 drops of sample
only.
This
refractometer is specifically created for brewing of BEER but it
can also be great for:
Fruits, vegetables &
grasses:
Monitor and
control sugar concentrations in foods, beverages, crops and plants,
checking the “ripeness”of fruit in the field and verifying product
quality after harvesting and/or controlling concentrations during
processing and packaging to ensure product
quality
Wine
or beer:
Use Brix
readings to get wort sugars and help determine finished alcohol
readings (for alcohol reading, best use in conjunction with a
hydrometer)
Metalworking
fluids:
Helps in
maintenance of CNC coolants and water soluble drawing &
stamping compounds and commonly used for controlling the
concentration of various industrial fluids like cutting lubricants
and flux rinsing compounds
The need to
consult temperature correction charts is eliminated with the
built-in ****0°C ATC. The unit also comes with a manual calibration
knob that is secured with a lock nut and has a brighter display
than the more narrow range refractometers. One of the popular
instrument with many homebrewers!
