Portable Refractometer ATC (Three Scale) Brix – SG Sugar – SG Wort

A sugar refractometer for measuring the density of your beer or wine.

Many brewers prefer to use this instead of a hydrometer because they find it quicker and easier to get an accurate reading. A refractometer will allow you to take instant gravity measurements during mash run-off or during the boil. It works like a hydrometer except you only need a few drops and there is no need to cool a trial jar of liquid before taking a reading.

Using a refractometer lets you check the progress of your brew so you can make adjustments along the way. A valuable tool for all-grain and extract brewers.

To use, apply 2-3 drops to the prism face, close the cover and wait 30 seconds. Look through the eye-piece – the line on the screen will show the Brix % and Specific Gravity reading.

This model comes with ATC (Automatic Temperature Compensation) allowing you to use the refractometer between 10 / 30 degrees Celsius so the temperature of the sample is irrelevant.

Comes with:
– Carry case
– Pipette
– Calibration Screw Driver

Note: This tool is used to measure unfermented wort. Once alcohol is present in the wort, the use of a correction table is advised.
