Review on ๐Ÿท Grape Wine Brewing Refractometer | Measure Sugar Content & Predict Alcohol Degree | Dual Scale Brix 0-40% & Alcohol 0-25% vol by Keith Alvord

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not even remotely accurate

This useless tool gave me a final gravity of 1.036. This means that my beer that was fermented for 17 days with Kveik yeast, which should have been 6.6%, ended up being only 3%. Yes, this will be a 30% nerf for Quake. I'd rather gargle with beer and guess the alcohol content than spend money on this product. I'm pretty sure my taste buds will be much more accurate in determining final gravity than this product. Either buy a good, expensive refractometer, or stick with your hydrometer types (and I know some of you will say that the alcohol content skews the readings and I need to adjust them. I did it per Sean Terrill's material. Myself then corrected for FG 1.026. This still decay 50%. WITH QUAKE!)

Pros
  • Industry & Science
