Does anybody use a refractometer I am thinking about getting one but i have seen mixed reviews about acuracy,I am sick of breaking hydrometers
rdewsbury said:Also the refractometer needs the SG to work out the FG, so if you interpret off a little at each reading, you get double error potentially.
Oginme said:The post referred to it as SG (starting gravity) which would be the initial gravity reading of the water before any additions are made. Zeroing the refractometer to this value eliminates any correction which later needs to be made to the readings made.
