A refractometer is an instrument used to measure the concentration of a given substance in an aqueous solution. Brewers commonly use refractometers to measure sugar concentration in the wort, which can then be used to calculate beer or wine’s alcohol content. Refractometers are used widely used in the food industry. They are available with different…

Refractometer Specific Gravity & ABV Calculator
Refractometers are used to measure the quantity of sugar dissolved in water. Compared to hydrometers, they have the advantage that only a few drops of liquid and needed and that the measurement doesn’t need to be corrected for temperature. However, the measurement is affected by alcohol, and the Final Gravity reading needs to be corrected…
