{"product_id":"braumarkt-refractometer-atc-brix-0-20-sg-1000-1085","title":"Refractometer ATC - Brix 0-20% \/ SG 1.000-1.085","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis refractometer reads sugar content from a few drops of wort — no trial jar, no waiting for the sample to cool. Pull a drop from the kettle with the included dropper, close the cover plate, hold it to the light and read Brix or specific gravity straight off the double scale. Built-in Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) corrects warm samples automatically, so a hot drop straight from the mash reads true after about 30 seconds on the prism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 0–20% Brix \/ 1.000–1.085 SG range is the honest choice for how most beer is actually brewed: by spreading the everyday gravity range across the full scale, the graduations are finer and easier to read than on a wide-range instrument. SG 1.085 covers everything up to a ~9% ABV wort — session beers, lagers, IPAs, tripels. Brewing an imperial stout past that? That is what our 0–32% Brix refractometer is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the original Braumarkt-branded unit, complete in its case with calibration screwdriver, dropper pipette, cleaning cloth and manual. Braumarkt has since merged into Brouwland and this model is no longer made — limited stock, new in box. One thing every refractometer owner should know: once fermentation starts, alcohol bends light too, so readings during or after fermentation need a correction calculator — for final gravity, cross-check with a hydrometer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble scale: Brix 0–20% and specific gravity 1.000–1.085\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFiner graduations than wide-range models — easier reading for standard-strength beers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) — no correction tables for warm samples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReads from a few drops — virtually zero wort lost per measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete kit: case, calibration screwdriver, dropper pipette, cleaning cloth, manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Braumarkt unit, new in box — discontinued model, limited stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalibrate with a drop of distilled water: adjust to exactly 0 with the included screwdriver (at 20 °C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply 2–3 drops on the prism, close the cover so the fluid spreads without bubbles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHold horizontally, wait 30 seconds for the ATC, read the line between white and blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the prism with a dry or slightly damp cloth — never immerse the instrument in water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFermenting or finished beer: apply a refractometer alcohol correction, or confirm with a hydrometer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Braumarkt (art. nr. 5002358)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e handheld optical refractometer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brix 0–20% \/ SG 1.000–1.085\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature compensation:\u003c\/strong\u003e ATC (automatic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalibration:\u003c\/strong\u003e distilled water, adjusting screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e case, screwdriver, dropper, cleaning cloth, manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e pre-boil gravity, original gravity, sugar measurement (non-alcoholic liquids)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRelated products\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/craftbrew.nl\/products\/portable-refractometer-atc\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePortable Refractometer ATC Brix 0-32%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e — the wide-range version for imperial-strength worts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/craftbrew.nl\/products\/mini-hydrometer-specific-gravity-meter-for-50ml-sample-cylinder\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMini Hydrometer Triple Scale\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e — the cold-side partner for final gravity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/craftbrew.nl\/products\/hydrometer-specific-gravity-meter-3-scale\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHydrometer Specific Gravity Meter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e — the full-size classic for trial-jar readings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/craftbrew.nl\/products\/anton-paar-easydens-digital-density-meter-smart-hydrometer-for-beer-wine-spirits\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnton Paar EasyDens\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e — the digital lab-grade upgrade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Braumarkt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57624312185207,"sku":"000.047","price":24.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6578\/9303\/files\/refractometer-0-170oe-0-25-vol-with-atc.jpg?v=1792498478","url":"https:\/\/craftbrew.nl\/products\/braumarkt-refractometer-atc-brix-0-20-sg-1000-1085","provider":"CraftBrew","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
