5.0 out of 5 stars Very accurate, provided that calibration is verified prior to the sample analysis
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I recently started brewing beer at home and decided to purchase a refractometer to measure the total sugar content of the wort. In order to know how much I could trust this instrument, I prepared a number of sugar solutions with known degree Brix values and measured them with the refractometer. The instrument proved to be substantially more accurate than I expected, provided that care is taken to verify its calibration prior to each measurement. Recalibrating the instrument is trivial, using the included screwdriver and a couple of drops of tap water. Please see the attached image with more details on the instrument evaluation. I apologize for the poor quality of the images, but it is rather difficult to take photos through the ocular of the refractometer using my cell phone. The image that you see directly with your eyes is easy to focus (the ocular rotates for focus) and enables a more precise measurement than what you can see in the photos.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good value. Measures within 0.2% in my test. Easy to use.
This is an inexpensive meter but it's actually a little more solid than I expected for the price, and it is accurate enough for me. To test the calibration I measured out 50 mL water and 5.00 grams sugar to make a 5/55 or 9.1% solution by weight. The meter reads 9.2% on this solution (after adjusting for the +0.2% zero offset on plain water). I am satisfied, as the fine scale marks are 0.2% apart so you can't expect much better than that. There is an offset adjust screw, but to be careful you would always check the zero offset anyway. I had some fun helping my kid measure the sugar content of different apple juices for a science fair project. We also tested Kearns Nectar, which has a crazy amount of sugar. If you don't believe me, try it and see.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good so far
It seems to be working well for what I need it for. Was calibrated right out of box and was accurate. I used it to test sugar in hays. The first 4 hays I tested was really accurate but two were not. Wondering if the lab was incorrect or if maybe did not have calibrated correctly. Will try again.
5.0 out of 5 stars Maple sap Brix refractometer.
I needed to have a way to measure the sugar content on my 60/70 maple trees for making maple syrup. As this is my spring time hobby I didn't find the need for an expensive digital devise, and I'm only wanting to measure the sap sugar content from each tree and then to check after running through my Reverse Osmosis system to reduce boil time, and know my storage needs.0/32 brix is just perfect for measuring maple sap sugar.This unit is well built and came in perfectly calibrated.Don't let the price fool you this refractometer is a tool that will last a long time as ling as you take care of it.The case is rugged and the extra sample droppers are nice to get you started.
5.0 out of 5 stars Still works great 3 years later
Easy to calibrate
5.0 out of 5 stars Proof of Really Good Oranges
At my sister's home near Oroville CA, the oranges direct from the trees are very very good. I gave her the brix meter, tested her oranges and they came in just below the excellent value on the Brix scale. Some earlier years have tasted even better. I'll make a trip for Oranges again in the future, especially if she can get a higher Brix reading. Works great for oranges at least.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tool for winos
If you're a winemaker it's important to know the Brix level of the grapes you're using. If you are also a grape grower it's critical to know the Brix level, as this will determine when to pick and what to expect vis a vis both acidity and alcohol level. This particular refractometer is incredibly easy to use and to read. It's both an excellent value and an excellent and indispensable tool.

Great product
Excellent item works great for my ninja slushie to check sugar level
Easy and relatively accurate, requires frequent calibrating
Decent for the money, does require calibration often. You need to do your readings quickly after placing the cover on as it drains and starts changing the reading after 10 seconds or so. Recently tested it against 3 glass hydrometers throughout a brew day and it read slightly higher (0.002 sg points). Overall a easy and quick way to check gravity without pulling a 100ml sample during the fermentation process.
good product
Works like a charm!
Happy
Works great. I bought it more for fun, to look at the sugar readings in various fruits and vegetables from my garden. Very interesting results.
