Review on πŸ”¬ Synra Refractometer: Precision and Accuracy for Reliable Readings by Adolfo Goins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Suitable for Maple Syrup

refractometer I know from home brewing, and now that I sugar maple with a refractometer, this was the obvious next step for me. I've tried many folksy methods of determining syrup readiness, from scraping the pan and looking for bubbles to dipping a spatula in the syrup, etc. They were all wildly inconsistent when checked with a hydrometer, so it was a hydrometer. However, the hydrometer requires large samples of boiling liquids and gets dirty. This refractometer is perfect, just a few drops and you know where you are. I just dip the end in the liquid, wait until ten and boom, I know the sugar content. Definitely recommended.

Pros
  • βœ”REFRACTOMETER EASY TO CALIBRATE AND USE --- To calibrate this meter, put a few drops of calibration solution on the prism and adjust it with a screwdriver. Apply three drops of honey to the prism and look through the eyepiece to read the reading. It has a focus function for a clearer view of the results.
Cons
