Review on ๐Ÿธ ATC Alcohol Refractometer for Accurate Spirit Alcohol Volume Percent Measurement, Wide Range 0-80% v/v with Temperature Compensation by Kevin Singh

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Waste of money: substance analyzer

Refractometer does not read the correct volume percentage of alcohol (except for water if you have calibrated it). For a starter kit beer with a target ABV of 5.5%, the refractometer reads 16% ABV. For the other batch, which should be slightly stronger, 22% vol. Dry red wine with 11% alcohol shows 18-20%, and with sweet fortified wine with 18% alcohol the refractometer readings go off the scale (I understand that sugar affects the readings).

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
