This dual scale refractometer is equipped with Dissolved Solids and Specific Gravity (D20/20 C) scales for precisely measuring the sugar content of wort used in beer making. The Dissolved Solids and Specific Gravity scales are based on the mathematical relationship between real wort sugars and refractive index so they will provide a more accurate indication of true sugar content and can be used interchangeably with Brix, Plato, and Balling units in calculators and equations. The MISCO Digital Beer Refractometer is not just a repurposed Brix refractometer. MISCO Pro-Brewing Scales are scientifically derived from a beer model with a very complex sugar profile, which is influenced strongly by maltose, and specific to wort. As there is very little sucrose in wort, measurements and temperature compensation are naturally much more accurate than sucrose-based Brix refractometers, because the refractometer is made specifically for beer, the user no longer needs to use a refractometer correction factor when plugging dissolved solids or specific gravity readings into beer calculators. Fast, convenient, and easy to use, the MISCO Digital Beer Refractometer requires only a fraction of the sample size required by traditional hydrometers. Simply place a drop or two of wort in the stainless steel well and press a button. The beer refractometer delivers a nearly instantaneous digital readout on a large backlit LCD display. The digital readout removes the subjectivity associated with interpreting where a boundary line crosses tiny little scale divisions. INCLUDES: MISCO Palm Abbe Refractometer Instruction Manual Does NOT include a Protective Rubber Armor Jacket Brand New! Fresh from the Factory! Dual scale Digital Beer Refractometer for measuring the Dissolved Solids or Specific Gravity of wort This refractometer will give you a much more accurate indication of true total sugar content of wort, as opposed to an estimate from a sucrose-based Brix refractometer. These beer scales are automatically temperature compensated specifically for wort. Made in the USA, Cleveland to be exact!
