Hi all,
I use a refractometer to measure the sugar content before i start fermentation and during fermentations. I find that the readings i get are inaccurate. one minute it reds 7 brix. then i take another reading and its 8. I wondered if anybody could tell me how to properly use a refractometer or suggest other alternatives to measuring sugar content to work out ABV. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
