Review on Enhance Grape Wine Brewing: Refractometer for Measuring Sugar Content & Predicting Alcohol Degree - Dual Scale Brix & Alcohol, Kit Included by Kyle Kriglstein

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Higher scale - ideal for wine or mead!

This refractometer is capable of higher refractometer readings than most beer refractometers, allowing it to be used for heavier beverages such as wine and strong mead. However, I have only used the Brix scale here and ignored the other scale related to "degree of alcohol". My review. One of the pins holding the clear plastic cover to the hinge was slightly loose and tended to slip out when the refractometer was held sideways; A dab of super glue fixed it and I was very happy with this product. Quick update: I've had this refractometer for a little over a year and it continues to work well. I never had to recalibrate it and the automatic temperature correction seems to work. I can't really be sure the ATC is working, but after plugging my Brix numbers into the formula to calculate the initial specific gravity, it was only 0.002 off my target weight as advertised. via online calculator. So I would say great!
