This refractometer measures the sugar content of your wort in Brix and specific gravity from just a few drops. It is quicker than a hydrometer on brew day, especially with a Grainfather or other all-grain system.

Why use a refractometer?

With a hydrometer you need a full trial jar of wort and must wait for it to cool. With a refractometer you take a small sample with a spoon or pipette straight from the boiler, wait a few seconds for the drops to cool on the prism, and read the scale.

Specifications

  • Brix scale: 0 to 32%
  • Wort SG scale: 1.000 to 1.120

How to use it

Calibrate with a drop of deionised water first. Then place a few drops of wort on the prism, close the cover and look through the eyepiece toward the light. Once fermentation starts, alcohol skews the reading, so use our Refractometer Alcohol Adjustment calculator or the Brix to Gravity converter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What scales does it read?

0 to 32% Brix, and wort specific gravity from 1.000 to 1.120.

How big a sample do I need?

Just a few drops, taken with a spoon or pipette.

Can I use it to check finished beer?

Alcohol affects the reading once fermentation starts, so correct it with a refractometer alcohol calculator or use a hydrometer for final gravity.

How do I calibrate it?

Put a drop of deionised water on the prism and check it reads zero before taking a wort reading.
