User questions & answers
Question: | My refractometer is impossible to calibrate... anybody else have issues or tips |
Answer: | I used distilled water and put three drops on the prism. Close it so there is no air bubbles and right under the light it should have a blue tint to it. Just lining the Blue tint line to the 0 line. |
Question: | does it measure brix for grape to know if it is ready to harvest for wine |
Answer: | Yes it does. I've tested boxes of (Zinfandel) grapes from California in September that I use for wine-making and they've been in the neighborhood of 23-25 brix. I'm sure you can read about higher brix levels but that's about what I get for those grapes and this device. All you do is squeeze a drop or two onto the sloped lens, close the clear cover over so it smears, hold it up to the light and read the scale. You can try several grapes or crush a number of them together to get an average. |
Question: | can I use this for melases ? and how to use |
Answer: | I am assuming the by melases you mean molasses. I have not tried to measure the specific gravity (SG) of molasses but I suspect you will have trouble with pure molasses. The SG might be out of range and the dark color of molasses may make it hard to read. If the molasses is dissolved in water then yes you should be able to use the reflectometer. To use a refractometer first zero the refractometer using plan water close to the same temperature as what you are measuring. SG is dependent on temperature. Once zeroed dry the surface and put a couple of drops of what you want to measure on the refractometer and read the results. The refractometer is easier to read in bright light: sunlight or a flashlight. |
Question: | Can i use this to test the sugar content of my homegrown fruits and vegetables |
Answer: | Yes, you can. |

User questions & answers
Question: | I am making cherry bounce, a combo of bourbon and cherries. you let it sit for six months. it seems to be at the top of the 80%. do i need a higher |
Answer: | Takes a standard 357 button cell. Very common battery. |
Question: | Will this work for home brewed rum |
Answer: | Not sure the number , but it is like a watch battery |
Question: | Will this work on herbal tinctures |
Answer: | Enough to fill the container, I would estimate about a cup |
Question: | I have a ground source heat pump that uses a methanol/water mix for the ground loop coolant. Will this refractometer work for checking that mix |
Answer: | I have found the most common problem for inaccurate readings is air bubbles attaching to the salinity level gauge. The problem is more pronounced when testing pure water. Look at the gauge and see if air bubbles are sticking to it. That will give higher than actual results. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Does this one refractor have light built in it ? Really cool if had a tiny solar cell ..never needing a battery ! (Idea |
Answer: | This refractometer is used with outdoor or bright lights. You put your frac or producer water on and point it in the light to get your salinity level. No battery ever required for that. Now... if it’s used for something other than testing chlorides... I don’t know how it’s used. |
Question: | What's the dimensions of the case this product comes in |
Answer: | The plastic case is about 8.2 (L) X 3.5 (W) X 2.2 (H) in inches. |
Question: | How often do you re-calibrate, and when would you know if it needs to be re-calibrated |
Answer: | I would check about every month or so. As for when you would know if it needed re-calibration just put a few drops of fresh water on lens and see if it reads 0. If it doesn't re-calibrate. |
Question: | Can I use it fot beer |
Answer: | I have a brewing refractometer and tried using it to read salinity and it just read 0 on my tank and my pond so I'm guessing there is a difference between the two. I wouldn't have thought so. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Do batteries needed |
Answer: | I purchased 2, one for my instrument cluster, the second was for my rear batteries that supply my amp... that way I can know what's running my truck and what's running for volts on the amplifier |
Question: | Is this a regular refractometer I can use for other purposes or somehow specific for honey |
Answer: | I hooked it up to a Fluke 87 V Amp Meter and it uses about 41 mA (.041 Amps) so a 1/4 (.25) Amp or less fuse would work. Just so you are aware you may get a small voltage drop across the contact on you toggle switch, especially if it is of low quality. Also the voltmeter seemed to be very accurate |

Question: | Will 4in1 def refractotometer work to test the freezing point & glycol concentration in a solar hot h2o system where propylene glycol/h2o mix is used |
Answer: | There are two wires. You connect one to any +12V point in your car, and the other to a ground point. You should preferably use a a switched 12V line to prevent the small current draw of the device from eventually draining your battery. (It would take a long time, but it's still best practice.) A good place is the 12V aux socket (used to be the cigarette lighter socket) - they're almost always switched on/off with the ignition. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Does this only work for distilled alcohol? Im trying it with my homemade wine/fermentation and getting higher readings then my wine could be (like |
Answer: | Yes. Although, converting from ppt to ppm is very easy. They are a factor of 1000 different. So if your measure is 1.3 ppt it is also 1300 ppm. Our meter switches between ppm and ppt depending on how large the measurement becomes. As always, be sure to calibrate for conductivity first. |
Question: | can this be used to measure ethanol content in a blended hand sanitizer |
Answer: | Yes. Please be sure to clean well once finished. The probe can even be cleaned by swishing the tip around in a cup of dish soap and water to clear foreign matter and substances that a normal distilled water rinse cannot clean by itself. |
