Refractometers are versatile in their design and use, and are able to provide results as refractive indices, or in other cases, as direct measurements of parameters such as soluble solids, sugar ...

The Brix scale, derived from the refractive index of a solution at 20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit), is widely known. Originally, it was established by determining the weight percentage of sucrose ...

If you would like to try home brewing, you need a refractometer. A refractometer allows you to measure sugar concentration in the wort. You then use this measurement to calculate the beer’s alcohol ...
