Can you Trust Economy Refractometers for Homebrewing?

When I first started homebrewing years and years ago, refractometers were expensive. Homebrew shops were selling them for $50 to $70. Even now, it’s not economy to see off brand refractometers sell in this range.

Lab grade refractometers

Prior to regular use by hobbyists refractometers were generally lab equipment. along those lines a lab grade refractometer can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Example: Atago 3810 PAL-1 Digital Hand Held Pocket Refractometer, 0.0 – 53.0% Brix Measurement Range

What about $10 to $20 economy refractometers?

It’s not uncommon to see a dual scale refractometer for $20 or under. It’s my opinion that most of the economy, non lab grade refractometers are probably manufactured by a handful of makers.  Or at the very least, the manufacturers are producing units of similar quality.  You could easily pay $60 at one retailer and $20 for the same unit via another retailer.

  • 【Rubber Grip】Rubber handle, non-slip and durable
  • 【Easy to carry】The portable canvas package is used to protect the instrument from damage
  • 【Easy to use】Step 1:Open daylight plate, make sure no dust on the main prism, and place 2-3 drops of distilled water on the main prism. Close the daylight plate so the water spreads across the entire surface of the prism without air bubbles or dry spots. Allow the sample to remain on the prism for approximately 30 seconds before going to step 2. (This allows the sample to adjust to the ambient temperature of the refractometer)
  • Step 2: Aim the front end of the refractometer to the direction of light and look into the eyepiece. You will see a circular field with graduations down the center (you may have to twist the focus adjustment to see the graduation clearly). The upper portion of the field should be blue, while the lower portion should be white.
  • Step 3: Look into the eyepiece and turn the Calibration screw by using a screwdriver until the boundary between the upper blue field and the lower white field meet exactly on the zero scale, such as shown in the image. This is the end of the calibration process.

For me, getting a refractometer was one of those upgrades that made a lot of difference.  With a refractometer you need a sample size of two drops.  I figured that this would pay for itself in beer savings alone.  I also had just broken my hydrometer and came to the realization that hydrometers are made of breakable glass that can break! 🙂

Announcing: Kegland Saber Refractometer – TRIPLE Scale + LED Lightning

KegLand Saber Refractometer | Auto Temperature Compensation | LED Light Sample Illumination | Triple Scale | SG Sugar, Brix, SG Wort | Magnetic Rechargeable Battery | Water Resistant | Carrying Case

Kegland Saber TRIPLE Scale Refractometer with LED Illumination

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

  • Track your mash tun run off during sparging, pre-boil gravity, post-boil gravity, and starting gravity before fermentation
  • Readings are almost instantaneous, requires only a few drops, and there’s no need to cool your sample thanks to ATC
  • Triple scaled for use in brewing, winemaking, and distilling
  • LED illumination makes it easy to see your readings even in low light environments like your garage or basement
  • Water resistant enclosure—dip the refractometer into your wort without risk of damaging the LED light
  • Includes case, pipette, and USB magnetic charging cable

If you want a quick and easy way to take gravity readings during the brewing process, then a refractometer is the tool for the job. Taking hydrometer readings during the brew tends to be a time-consuming process, and by the time you get a reading it may be too late to react. This is because you need to take a large sample and cool it to get an accurate reading. A refractometer allows you take instant gravity readings, with just one drop, at any point during the boil, or even during the run off of the sparge during an all-grain brew. These ‘during the process’ readings allow you to add more water or boil longer so you can attain exactly the gravity you desire.

Traditional refractometers without ATC are calibrated to work at 68°F. The ATC function allows you to use the refractometer in an ambient temperature range of 50-86°F (10-30°C). Since your sample is just one drop, and will quickly adjust to the temperature of the refractometer, the temperature of the sample is irrelevant. This unit also comes with a manual calibration knob that is secured with a lock nut. To calibrate place one drop of distilled water on the testing platform and adjust to zero if necessary. The LED light is a handy feature that helps illuminate the sample and make the scale easier to read.

Features:

Triple Scaled
0-32 Brix
0-1.130 Specific Gravity for Wort
0-1.130 Specific Gravity for Sugar
Water resistant enclosure
Adjustable focus eyepiece with rubber grip
Automatic Temperature Compensation
LED illumination function
Rechargeable battery
Please Note: The Sabre Refractometer is used to measure unfermented wort. Once alcohol is present, the use of a correction table is advised.

A dual scale refractometer quickly measures how much sugar is in a solution on a both a brix and specific gravity scale. The more sugar in solution, the higher the reading. Just put a few drops of wort or juice on the lens and close the cover. Then look through the eyepiece to read the sugar content in both brix and specific gravity (brix 0-32, specific gravity 1.000 to 1.130).

A refractometer is not a replacement for a hydrometer, as it cannot easily be used to check the brix or specific gravity of sugar solutions that contain alcohol. To do this with a refractometer, you can use brewing software like BeerSmith*. However, it is ideal for quickly checking initial sugar content, whether in the field when checking the ripeness of grapes, or when mashing to immediately see the specific gravity of the runoff.

Not all refractometers are the same. The picture at right shows a comparision view at the same camera exposure of our William’s Refractometer on the right and a generic refractometer on the left with the same light source. Note the brighter and larger display made possible by the higher quality optics in the William’s Refractometer.

Besides an LED light so you can use it in the evening in the vineyard, ours also features automatic temperature compensation, a vision adjustable eyepiece with removeable rubber eye cup, padded case, eyedropper, calibration screwdriver (calibrate to zero brix/specific gravity by using tap water) and instructions. This runs on three included LR41 button batteries (common in hearing aids).

For me, getting a refractometer was one of those upgrades that made a lot of difference.  With a refractometer you need a sample size of two drops.  I figured that this would pay for itself in beer savings alone.  I also had just broken my hydrometer and came to the realization that hydrometers are made of breakable glass that can break! 🙂
