Review on 🍺 Ade Advanced Optics BCBI9177 Beer Wort and Wine Refractometer, Dual Scale - Specific Gravity 1.000-1.120 and Brix 0-32%, Aluminum Construction, Best Homebrew Hydrometer Replacement by Gopal Baltimore

I have been making wine for about 6 months and in that time I have broken two glass hydrometers. Both times it was my fault, but they're so brittle, and besides, they've always been hard for me to read, and they take so much of my precious wine to read. After reading a number of reviews about this refractometer I ordered it. The instructions said to check the accuracy with distilled water so I put a few drops on the viewing area, waited 30 seconds and the readings were almost perfect. It only took a small twist with the included screwdriver to zero on the dial. After a few days I was ready to bottle the wine, so I checked the SG (specific gravity) with a borrowed hydrometer, then I checked the reading with a refractometer, the reading was exactly the same. The only downside to this unit is that it doesn't include a conversion scale to convert SG to Brix, but I had a printed conversion scale that came with a previous hydrometer. For the money, the Ade Advanced Optics refractometer is worth every penny.
