Description

Milwaukee MA885 digital refractometer for beer and wine

The Milwaukee MA885 is a digital refractometer that measures the sugar content of wort, must and grape juice. It measures the refractive index of a sample and displays the result in %Brix, °Oechsle (SG 1.000–1.230) and °KMW in about 1.5 seconds. Automatic temperature compensation (ATC) between 10 and 40 °C means you can measure without fully cooling the sample.

The refractometer is easily calibrated with deionised or distilled water, and only a few drops of sample are needed. That makes the MA885 handy for tracking gravity on brew day, for example when measuring pre-boil gravity.

Features

  • Measures %Brix, °Oechsle and °KMW, as well as temperature

Frequently asked questions about the Milwaukee MA885

What does the MA885 measure?

The MA885 measures the sugar content of a liquid and displays it in %Brix (0–50%), °Oechsle (0–230, equivalent to SG 1.000–1.230) and °KMW (0–42).

Can I use the refractometer to measure FG?

Not directly. Alcohol refracts light differently from sugar, so readings are wrong once fermentation has started. Use a hydrometer for FG.

How do I calibrate the MA885?

Calibrate with deionised or distilled water before measuring.

Does the sample need to be cooled before measuring?

The refractometer has automatic temperature compensation between 10 and 40 °C. Samples can be measured within this range but should not be warmer.

How much sample do I need?

At least 100 µL, i.e. a few drops that completely cover the prism.
