This product falls into one of those categories - it is something that you should have, but can't justify spending more money on a lab grade piece of equipment. There are too many other things that I need in brewing beer, and my hydrometers work rather well. The problem with using a hydrometer is the wasted beer. How much easier it is to pull several drops from your fermenting beer than to drain it into a test jar and then pitch it. After reading a lot about digital refractometers, I settled on this one. To begin with, this is a precision instrument. After it arrived, I quickly assessed that a carrying case was definitely needed. Having it packed into a padded case allows me to sleep well every night. The instrument arrived in great condition, packaged really well. READ THE DIRECTIONS. Although you might think it is easy, take 5-minutes out of your precious time and read the directions. It might not reveal anything that you do not already know, but it does allow you to rest assured that when you take the reading the proper way, and clean the pan after each use. It is also important to understand how Brix is different than OG/FG is different than Plato. If you use this instrument as it should be used and treat it as a precision instrument, anyone who brews beer should find this produce one of the best investments they make on any piece of equipment.

Ottimo articolo per la misurazione dei gradi Brix.

I bought 3 of these for the sauce and beverage business I work for to replace the hand held manual refractometers. The human error/variation has been eliminated, and we're able to dial in the product without the "Drift" we see in product consistency from batch to batch. Inexpensive enough to justify for a home business and a rugged enough for strategic placement within a factory environment to reduce wasted trips to a larger version. Not as convenient as a small hand held Atago refractometer, but far less likely to be lost or broken. Challenge testing (using all 3 at once) consistently provides identical readings on samples with a Brix of near zero and up to 77 (the max is rated to 85.0). I feel the trade-off is worth it and will buy again if we ever need another. Highly recommend and am very pleased with the product.
