Refractometer (Wort SG 1.000 to 1.120)

A refractometer instantly reads gravity, in Brix, of unfermented wort by measuring the degree that light passing through the sample is bent. Unlike a hydrometer, only a few drops are required for a sample. To use, apply 2-3 drops to the prism face, close cover, and look through the eyepiece while aiming your refractometer at a light source.
