With a 0.2% Brix graduation and ATC correction active between 10–30°C, this metal-bodied refractometer delivers accurate, immediate sugar readings from just a few drops of liquid — no test tubes, no waiting, no product waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhat makes this a specialist instrument rather than a general-purpose brewing refractometer is its elevated measurement range. A standard brewing refractometer typically reads 0–32% Brix — sufficient for wort, dilute fruit additions, and pre-boil gravity checks, but unable to measure the high sugar concentrations of undiluted grape must, fruit concentrates, honey, and fruit juices where Brix values regularly exceed 40–50%. This 28–62% Brix instrument fills that gap precisely — designed for the juice, winemaking, and fruit fermentation applications where sugar levels are high and accurate measurement at that range is critical for fermentation planning, dilution calculations, and quality control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe metal construction gives this refractometer the rigidity and durability that plastic-bodied alternatives lack — the prism stays correctly aligned under regular handling, the scale remains readable, and the calibration holds stable across extended use in a working brewery or winery environment. Supplied complete with storage case, calibration screwdriver, pipette dropper, and instruction manual, everything needed for immediate, accurate use arrives in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e28–62% Brix range — covers high-sugar fruit juice, grape must, honey, and concentrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e0.2% Brix graduation — precise resolution across the full measurement range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eATC (Automatic Temperature Compensation) — accurate readings between 10–30°C without manual correction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMetal body construction — durable, stable, and calibration-retaining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eClear prism and sharp scale — easy to read in any lighting condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eComplete kit — storage case, calibration screwdriver, pipette dropper, and instruction manual included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eUsage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBest suited for: Grape must sugar measurement, fruit juice Brix testing, honey and syrup concentration, fruit concentrate dilution calculations, high-sugar winemaking and cider quality control\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNot suitable for: Standard wort gravity measurement (use a 0–32% Brix brewing refractometer), post-fermentation alcohol estimation in beer or wine (use a hydrometer or vinometer)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCalibration: Use distilled water — correct reading at 0% Brix (note: distilled water falls outside the 28–62% measurement range; calibrate using the manufacturer's method with the included screwdriver).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003eType: Optical Brix refractometer — juice \/ must Measurement range: 28–62% Brix Graduation: 0.2% Brix Temperature compensation: ATC — 10–30°C Body: Metal construction Supplied with: Storage case, calibration screwdriver, pipette dropper, instruction manual Use: Fruit juice, grape must, honey, syrup, and high-sugar liquid sugar measurement\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CraftBrew","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57161512321399,"sku":"CB00079","price":44.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6578\/9303\/files\/portable-refractometer-atc-three-scale-brix-sg-sugar-sg-wort-kegland-2_f967a673-0504-4925-8961-df91049b0e29.jpg?v=1777455783","url":"https:\/\/craftbrew.nl\/products\/alcohol-refractometer-0-80-vol-atc-distillate-alcohol-meter-with-automatic-temperature-compensation-copy","provider":"CraftBrew","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
