Quickly measure sugar content in samples of wort, fruit juice, honey, must and other liquids with only a few mLs of sample waste.

Refractometers measure how light refracts through liquids, this can be used to measure sugar content in a sample. This model includes a built in light and 3 measurement scales for improved precision across different sugar mediums from brix for winemakers and beekeepers to SG wort for all grain brewers and SG sugar for mixing up a wash. Now in a water-resistant design with a rechargeable LED light rechargeable.

Note: refractometers read wort accurately, but once fermentation starts, alcohol bends light differently to sugar, so a raw reading on fermenting or fermented beer will read falsely high. You'll need a correction formula to get a true final gravity, or use a hydrometer for that reading instead.

If you are measuring wort we suggest using the SG wort scale. If you are measuring fruit juice or honey we would recommend the brix % scale. If you are measuring plain sugar or dextrose water for a distillers wash we would recommend SG sugar. These scales are collected from real world samples, individual accuracy can vary, if you want the most accuracy we would recommend calculating a correction factor by using a number of real world samples. 

This high-quality refractometer is accurate and easy to use and calibrate. Calibration is done with a few drops of distilled water and a flat head screwdriver. This model also features ATC (automatic temperature compensation). ATC should not be relied on, for most accurate results we would recommend allowing the sample to cool to room temperature first.

Includes:

  • Carry case
  • Red magnetic charging USB charging cable (AU plug not included)

Calibration before use:

  1. Add 10 drops of clean filtered water (preferably deionised water) to the sample end of your refractometer.
  2. Either in direct sunlight or using the LED, observe the blue shaded area. The sample should read 1.000. If it reads higher or lower, use a flat head screwdriver to adjust the underside of the refractometer until it reads 1.000.
