For me, getting a refractometer was one of those upgrades that made a lot of difference.  With a refractometer you need a sample size of two drops.  I figured that this would pay for itself in beer savings alone.  I also had just broken my hydrometer and came to the realization that hydrometers are made of breakable glass that can break! 🙂

This is named calibration solution, but in homebrewing terms, I think it’s better thought of as a “double check you refractometer” solution. Calibration solution for SG and Brix refractometers… water. Distilled or RO water. This particular solution offers you a known gravity liquid (1.0264 sg) that you can use to double check your equipment.

Can you Trust Economy Refractometers for Homebrewing?

When I first started homebrewing years and years ago, refractometers were expensive. Homebrew shops were selling them for $50 to $70. Even now, it’s not economy to see off brand refractometers sell in this range.

Lab grade refractometers

Prior to regular use by hobbyists refractometers were generally lab equipment. along those lines a lab grade refractometer can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Example: Atago 3810 PAL-1 Digital Hand Held Pocket Refractometer, 0.0 – 53.0% Brix Measurement Range

What about $10 to $20 economy refractometers?

It’s not uncommon to see a dual scale refractometer for $20 or under. It’s my opinion that most of the economy, non lab grade refractometers are probably manufactured by a handful of makers.  Or at the very least, the manufacturers are producing units of similar quality.  You could easily pay $60 at one retailer and $20 for the same unit via another retailer.

Highlighted Features
  • 【2 Scales】0-32%Brix; SG Wort1.000-1.120.The Brix Scale measures the sugar content of fruits, juices and beverages; and the SG Wort scale measures the specific gravity of wort in beer brewing
  • 【Clear Scale】A clear dial can be seen through the eyepiece，easy to read
  • 【With ATC】With automatic temperature compensation, thus reducing the error；
  • 【Rubber Grip】Rubber handle, non-slip and durable
  • 【Easy to carry】The portable canvas package is used to protect the instrument from damage
  • 【Easy to use】Step 1:Open daylight plate, make sure no dust on the main prism, and place 2-3 drops of distilled water on the main prism. Close the daylight plate so the water spreads across the entire surface of the prism without air bubbles or dry spots. Allow the sample to remain on the prism for approximately 30 seconds before going to step 2. (This allows the sample to adjust to the ambient temperature of the refractometer)
  • Step 2: Aim the front end of the refractometer to the direction of light and look into the eyepiece. You will see a circular field with graduations down the center (you may have to twist the focus adjustment to see the graduation clearly). The upper portion of the field should be blue, while the lower portion should be white.
  • Step 3: Look into the eyepiece and turn the Calibration screw by using a screwdriver until the boundary between the upper blue field and the lower white field meet exactly on the zero scale, such as shown in the image. This is the end of the calibration process.

For me, getting a refractometer was one of those upgrades that made a lot of difference.  With a refractometer you need a sample size of two drops.  I figured that this would pay for itself in beer savings alone.  I also had just broken my hydrometer and came to the realization that hydrometers are made of breakable glass that can break! 🙂

Sean Terrill’s Refractometer Calculator

img_refract

Updated: 5/29/2024

In days of yore, refractometers were considered a pre-fermentation only tool.  That’s because the alcohol present after fermentation begins throws off refractometer readings.  That was until people starting figuring out that it was possible to reasonably estimate specific gravity after fermentation has begun.  The first such calculations that I became aware of were from MoreBeer.  Check the documents tab on this product page to see their spreadsheet.

Since that time, additional work has been done to refine these calculations.  One such body of work belongs to Sean Terrill.  Sean is a smart guy.  Like nuclear engineer kind of smart.  Sean did a good bit of work on the subject and came up with an even more accurate formula for estimating specific gravity after fermentation is begun.

Digital Refractometer

More Info


Highlighted Features
  • The measurement of refractive index is simple and quick and provides the user an accepted method for sugar content analysis. Samples are measured after a simple calibration with steam distilled water. Within seconds the instrument measures the refractive index of the brix. This digital refractometer eliminates the uncertainty associated with mechanical refractometer and is easily portable for measurements in the field
  • It is easy to use with simple three button operation and fast with a response time under 3 seconds. Easy to clean, stainless steel sample well with unit rated to IP65 as "dust tight" and protected against water jets. Ideal for winemakers, brewers, fruit and vegetable growers, maple syrup producers, and food producers.
  • This handheld refractometer is small, light and simple to use as optical refractometer, but with the precision of a digital readout. They read samples as small as 0.3 ml. Sample temperature is initially displayed on the TFT screen followed by the measurement results. They have easy-to-read LCD that eliminates the possibility of interpretation errors.
  • SM20 digital brix refractometer is commonly used in the food and beverage, agriculture and wine industries. Fruit farmers will use a refractometer to check the sugar content of fruit on the vine to determine the best time for harvesting. SM20 brix refractometer is an ideal measurement instrument for the food and beverage industry.
  • The meter provides automatic calibration, automatic temperature compensation (ATC) and automatic shutoff (after 3 minutes). A sturdy water resistant case protects the electronics from wet environments and makes for easy clean ups. It features one button calibration to distilled water and indicate when the battery should be replaced

Announcing: Kegland Saber Refractometer – TRIPLE Scale + LED Lighting

KegLand Saber Refractometer | Auto Temperature Compensation | LED Light Sample Illumination | Triple Scale | SG Sugar, Brix, SG Wort | Magnetic Rechargeable Battery | Water Resistant | Carrying Case

Kegland Saber TRIPLE Scale Refractometer with LED Illumination

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

  • Track your mash tun run off during sparging, pre-boil gravity, post-boil gravity, and starting gravity before fermentation
  • Readings are almost instantaneous, requires only a few drops, and there’s no need to cool your sample thanks to ATC
  • Triple scaled for use in brewing, winemaking, and distilling
  • LED illumination makes it easy to see your readings even in low light environments like your garage or basement
  • Water resistant enclosure—dip the refractometer into your wort without risk of damaging the LED light
  • Includes case, pipette, and USB magnetic charging cable

If you want a quick and easy way to take gravity readings during the brewing process, then a refractometer is the tool for the job. Taking hydrometer readings during the brew tends to be a time-consuming process, and by the time you get a reading it may be too late to react. This is because you need to take a large sample and cool it to get an accurate reading. A refractometer allows you take instant gravity readings, with just one drop, at any point during the boil, or even during the run off of the sparge during an all-grain brew. These ‘during the process’ readings allow you to add more water or boil longer so you can attain exactly the gravity you desire.

Traditional refractometers without ATC are calibrated to work at 68°F. The ATC function allows you to use the refractometer in an ambient temperature range of 50-86°F (10-30°C). Since your sample is just one drop, and will quickly adjust to the temperature of the refractometer, the temperature of the sample is irrelevant. This unit also comes with a manual calibration knob that is secured with a lock nut. To calibrate place one drop of distilled water on the testing platform and adjust to zero if necessary. The LED light is a handy feature that helps illuminate the sample and make the scale easier to read.

Features:

Triple Scaled
0-32 Brix
0-1.130 Specific Gravity for Wort
0-1.130 Specific Gravity for Sugar
Water resistant enclosure
Adjustable focus eyepiece with rubber grip
Automatic Temperature Compensation
LED illumination function
Rechargeable battery
Please Note: The Sabre Refractometer is used to measure unfermented wort. Once alcohol is present, the use of a correction table is advised.

KegLand Part Number: KL25072
