[PDF] brix refractometer vs hydrometer

Well, neither is more “accurate” than the other, they function very differently. A refractometer measures the amount of sugar in your solution via “refraction” of light, when it passes through the wort sample. On the other hand, a hydrometer is used to measure the Specific Gravity of your wine or beer.

  • Which is better refractometer or hydrometer?

    One of the biggest positives for refractometers is that you only need a small sample, a few drops of the liquid to get an instant measurement.
    Unlike the hydrometer that needs to be submerged.
    This is great if you're brewing small batches, or if you want to maximize your final amount of beer.

  • Why is refractometer better than a hydrometer?

    First of all, a small sample size means the sample will cool much faster than a hydrometer sample would.
    In addition, many refractometers have temperature correction features which will allow for small differences in temperature without inaccuracies.18 fév. 2015

  • Can I use a refractometer instead of a hydrometer?

    Refractometer is only accurate for OG readings.
    Benefit is a few drops for sample instead of 100-200ml.
    This is very useful when doing several samples trying to hit an OG in the mash/boil process.
    You still need your hydrometer for fermentation gravity readings and FG.

  • Can I use a refractometer instead of a hydrometer?

    Hydrometer Scales
    Brix-scale hydrometers are calibrated to measure percent of pure sucrose (sugar) by weight.
    Baume-scale hydrometers are calibrated to read degrees of Baume, which is a pair of scales: one for liquids heavier than water and one for liquids lighter than water.
