Description
Refractometer for beer brewing – SG 1.000–1.120 and Brix 0–32%
A refractometer is an optical tool that measures SG (specific gravity) in wort using just a few drops. It is especially useful when you need several readings during brew day. With a hydrometer you have to «sacrifice» much more liquid.
The refractometer has ATC (automatic temperature compensation). The recommended range is 10–30 °C, and a few drops of wort cool down quickly.

Frequently asked questions about the brewing refractometer
Can I measure FG with a refractometer?
Not directly. Once fermentation has started, alcohol bends the light differently and the reading will be wrong. Use a hydrometer once fermentation is under way.
When is a refractometer most useful?
On brew day, for example when measuring pre-boil gravity after sparging and OG after the boil. You only need a few drops of wort.
What does ATC mean?
Automatic temperature compensation. The refractometer adjusts for temperature, and the recommended range is 10–30 °C.
How do I calibrate the refractometer?
Place a few drops of clean water on the prism and set the scale to 1.000 using the included screwdriver.
