Works pretty good at normal fruit sugar levels sg 1.053+ and is fast to use. when it gets towards the lower end of sugar content, you’ll still need a hydrometer.
No name thanks

Works great with my wine making, just add a little liquid to the rectangle portion and close the flap and hold it up to a light source and view threw the scope part to see the hydrometer brix and alchol percentage reading is how it works. Works very accurately for me and super easy and convenient as you don’t need so much rest liquid and a test tube to dirty.

This refractometer is a must have if you do home brew. Easy to calibrate! Nice protective case. For the price you can’t beat it. Highly recommend!

Literally zero capable instructions included. I don’t know if I need to charge this, or insert batteries, but there is no clear place where the batteries would be inserted. There is nothing in the user manual about how to actually power this thing on. Notably, also, the button doesn’t work. I really need to measure my honey so I knew if I need to refrigerate it, and this machine does not work at all. It includes very limited instructions that don’t help at all. it is just a piece of junk. Unless someone answers me within 15 hours on how to actually power this thing on, I’m going to just throw it in the trash and get a refund from Amazon.

This refractometer feels good in the hand, is easy to use, has no batteries and provides accurate, consistent results.However, you have to understand that if you are using to check the brix/specific gravity of a fermentation, the result will differ from a floating hydrometer. This is due to the additional effect of alcohol in the wort, which affects refraction more than the floating hydrometer.For example, my nearly fully fermented mead SG measured 1.050 on this refractometer, but indicated 1.010 on my floating hydrometer. I rechecked with 2 other refractometers and the results were consistent. The apparent inaccuracy was not the result of a faulty refractometer.

Evidencia adecuada relación calidad precio pero no me gusto que no tenga el destornillador para ajustar la óptica

After a few measurements I tried recalibrating but after turning the screw to the right for a bit I could no longer turn left below 5% Brix! So I took the screw out and realized there’s a screw within the screw. Unscrewing the inner screw and replacing the adjustment screw I was able to get it re-calibrated. I wanted to share that first for anyone having this issue; it’s not broken (as I thought at first), you just have to do the above. If the image is blurry you need to turn the eyepiece.Overall it’s a very affordable refractometer. Taking multiple measurements yields identical results. It’s consistent and my wort correction factor (Google if that doesn’t make sense to you) is 1.06 which is pretty close to my hydrometer. You do need a good eye (and a bright light) to read any instrument like this (vs. say digital), but it does what it’s supposed to and I’m happy to put my hydrometer in storage. The carrying case is very sturdy and I appreciate the pipettes and microfiber cloth. Overall I have to give it 5 stars for what it is; a very affordable, reliable, fairly easy to read analog refractometer.
