Refractometer

A refractometer is used to measure the density of a solution. Measure the brix level (sugar level) in your grapes with just one drop! The perfect vineyard tool for monitoring ripening grapes. We also use them after the crush to get an exact brix reading. A refractometer cannot be directly used after fermentation has taken place as alcohol distorts the reading, however a conversion calculator (MS Excel based) is available from MoreWine! on request. Refractometer Statistics: Our refractometer is hand held with a metal body, flexible eye piece and rubber grip. It features a 0 to 32% Brix scale with .2% resolution and ATC (Automatic Temperature Compensation). Traditional refractometers without ATC are calibrated to work at 68 degrees Fahrenheit. The ATC function allows you to use the refractometer in an ambient temperature range of 50-86 degrees Fahrenheit (10-30 Celsius.) Because your sample is just one drop, and will quickly adjust to the temperature of the refractometer, the temperature of the sample is irrelevant. Our unit also comes with a manual calibration knob that is secured with a lock nut. To calibrate place one drop of water (distilled water is preferred, but not required) on the testing platform and adjust to zero if necessary.

The HI96811 is a rugged, portable digital refractometer designed for sugar measurement of juice and must. The HI96811 reports sugar content as % Brix and has a high accuracy of ±0.2%. The operation of the meter is simplified with only two buttons: one button is to calibrate with distilled or deionized water and the other to take a measurement. All readings are automatically compensated for temperature variations according to the ICUMSA Methods Book standard and displayed within a 1.5 second response time. The sealed flint glass prism and stainless steel well are easy to clean. Just wipe with a soft cloth in preparation for the next sample. Sample size as small as 2 metric drops (100 μl) Sealed stainless steel well with high-grade optical prism made of flint glass Fast 1.5 second response time for temperature compensated readings The HI96811 Digital Refractometer converts the refractive index of a juice or must sample to % Brix. This conversion is based on the tables found in the ICUMSA Methods Book (International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis) that documents the changes in the refractive index with temperature for a percent by weight sucrose solution. Since the majority of sugar in grape juice and must is fructose and glucose instead of sucrose, the reading is sometimes referred to as “Apparent Brix”. Typical grapes at harvest will be between 19-24% Brix or degrees Brix (°Bx). The HI96811 is an easy-to-use tool for winemakers for measuring sugar in grapes or must, in the field or in the lab. Designed for winemaking sugar analysis Temperature Compensation algorithms based on sucrose solution 0 to 50% Brix range with an accuracy of +/- 0.2% Brix Making a Standard % Brix (Sucrose) Solution To make a Brix Solution, follow the procedure below: Place container (such as a glass vial or dropper bottle that has a cover) on an analytical balance. Tare the balance. Weigh out X grams of high purity sucrose (CAS #: 57-50-1) directly into a beaker. Add distilled or deionized water to the beaker so the total weight of the solution is 100g. Note: Solutions above 65% may need to be vigorously stirred or shaken and heated in a water bath to roughly 40°C (104°F). Remove solution when sucrose has dissolved and allow to cool before use. Refractive Index The HI96811 takes measurements based on a sample’s refractive index. The refractive index is a measurement of how light behaves as it passes through the sample. Depending on the sample’s composition, the light will refract and reflect differently. By measuring this activity with a linear image sensor, the sample’s refractive index can be assessed and used to determine its physical properties such as concentration and density. In addition to the linear image sensor, the HI96811 uses an LED light, prism and lens to make measurement possible. Variations in temperature will affect the accuracy of refractometry readings, so the use of temperature compensation is highly recommended for reliable results. The HI96811 contains a built-in temperature sensor and is programmed with temperature compensation algorithms in accordance with the ICUMSA Methods Book Standard for a percent by weight sucrose solution. Features-at-a-glance One-point calibration - Calibrate with distilled or deionized water Small sample size - Sample size can be as small as 2 metric drops (100 μl) Quick, accurate results - Readings are displayed in approximately 1.5 seconds Dual-level LCD - The dual-level LCD displays % Brix and temperature readings simultaneously Battery indicators - Battery percent level remaining at startup and low battery indicator Automatic shut-off - To conserve battery life the meter shuts off automatically after three minutes of non-use Stainless steel sample well - Easy to clean and corrosion-resistant IP65 water-resistant protection - Water resistant ABS plastic casing designed to perform under laboratory and field conditions. Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) - Samples automatically compensated for temperature variations 1 button calibration, only requires 2 metric drops of sample (100 μl), fast 1.5 second response time for temperature compensated readings IP65 Water Resistant Protection with ABS plastic casing for both lab and field conditions LCD display displays both %Brix and temperature simultaneously, automatic shut off after 3 min of non use to preserve battery life

The EasyDens from Anton Paar was developed as a digital gravity/alcohol tester for small commercial breweries, but this product is just as useful in the winemaking process—from measuring and tracking the sugar content of grapes in the field to measuring alcohol levels at the end of fermentation. With only a small sample being needed, the EasyDens eliminates the need to fill up a hydrometer jar or using a refractometer and spread sheet to determine your test results. A tiny 2 ml sample is all that you need for an accurate Brix reading. Alcohol % can also be tracked at any point during fermentation. The unit hooks up to your smartphone via Bluetooth and stores various fermentation "profiles" enabling you to track fermentation progress, alcohol levels, and help know when it's time to bottle your wine! Brix Measurements Range: -10 °Brix to 80 °Brix Accuracy: 0.3 °Brix Resolution: 0.1 °Brix In order to get accurate measurements, please note your sample will need to have the solids filtered out and degassed prior to taking measurements. A simple coffee filter is recommended for filtering samples. Protect your device with the Silicone Protection Cover! See the documents tab for frequently asked questions about the Easy Dens. Features: Take a highly accurate gravity reading at any point in the winemaking process even when alcohol is present.

Measuring alcohol by volume (ABV) is of utmost importance for beverage manufacturers as it holds several key benefits for their operations. Firstly, ABV provides an accurate representation of the alcohol content in a particular beverage, ensuring product consistency and quality control. This information is vital for beverage manufacturers to comply with legal regulations and labeling requirements, as different jurisdictions often impose specific limits on the ABV of alcoholic beverages. Additionally, precise ABV measurements allow manufacturers to calculate the correct amount of taxes and excise duties owed on their products. By ensuring ABV accuracy, beverage manufacturers can maintain customer trust and satisfaction by delivering beverages that meet the expected potency and flavor profiles. Overall, measuring ABV is a crucial step in the manufacturing process, assisting beverage companies in maintaining regulatory compliance, product consistency, and customer confidence.
