ATC — Distillate Alcohol Meter with Automatic Temperature Compensation","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis 0–80% vol. Alcohol Refractometer with Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) is a fast, precise, and economical alcohol measurement tool for distillers and homebrewers who need an instant, accurate reading of alcohol content in clear distillates without wasting product, without test tubes, and without the delays of hydrometer-based measurement. Just a few drops of liquid on the prism, a glance through the eyepiece toward a light source, and you have a direct alcohol percentage reading in seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhat makes this refractometer the go-to measurement tool for distillers is its combination of wide measurement range, ATC correction, and minimal sample requirement. The 0–80% vol. range covers the full spectrum of practical distillate strengths — from low-strength first and last cuts through to high-proof neutral spirits — making it equally useful for checking vodka, genever, brandy, and neutral alcohol at any point in the distillation run. The built-in Automatic Temperature Compensation corrects for ambient temperature variation automatically, delivering accurate readings without manual correction tables or waiting for samples to reach a specific temperature — a meaningful practical advantage when working quickly during an active distillation session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAt only a few drops per measurement, this refractometer is the most economical way to check your distillate repeatedly throughout a run without sacrificing meaningful quantities of a carefully produced spirit to the measurement process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003ePlease note: this refractometer is designed exclusively for clear, sugar-free distillates. It is not suitable for measuring alcohol in beer, wine, liqueurs, or any fermented or sweetened liquid containing residual sugar — dissolved sugars interfere with the optical reading and produce inaccurate results. For alcohol measurement in beer or wine, a vinometer is the appropriate tool.\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\"\u003e0–80% vol. alcohol range — covers the full spectrum of practical distillate strengths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAutomatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) — accurate readings without manual correction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMinimal sample volume — just a few drops per measurement, no product waste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDirect optical reading — no test tubes, no calculations, instant result through the eyepiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSuitable for vodka, genever, brandy, and neutral alcohol — clear, sugar-free distillates only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eEasy calibration with distilled water\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: Alcohol measurement in clear, sugar-free distillates — vodka, genever, brandy, neutral alcohol, and high-proof spirits throughout and after distillation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNot suitable for: Beer, wine, liqueurs, or any fermented or sweetened liquid containing residual sugar — dissolved sugars interfere with the optical reading and produce inaccurate results\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFor alcohol measurement in beer or wine: use a vinometer, which is designed for sugar-containing fermented beverages.\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 alcohol refractometer Measurement range: 0–80% vol. alcohol Temperature compensation: ATC (Automatic) Sample volume: A few drops Calibration: Distilled water Suitable for: Clear, sugar-free distillates only Use: Distillate alcohol measurement, spirit strength checking, distillation run monitoring\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CraftBrew","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57161378070903,"sku":"CB00077","price":31.95,"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\/portable-refractometer-atc-brewing-sugar-measurement-tool-copy","provider":"CraftBrew","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
