I recently purchased a refractometer. I used 3-differnet sources to convert from brix to SG and get three different answers!
My brix reading is 12.5.
1) http://brew.stderr.net/refractometer.html
this site gives me 1.050
2) ProMash & http://www.primetab.com/formulas.html
this gives 1.051
3) BeerSmith gives 1.048
(I also took a hydrometer reading and it was 1.048 at 72 deg f.)
Which is correct (why a difference)?
