Buy the MA871 refractometer, get the carrying case free.
A refractometer reads the sugar in your grapes and juice, which is how you judge ripeness at harvest and figure out the potential alcohol before you pitch yeast. The MA871 does it digitally: a couple drops, a reading in about two seconds, accurate to ±0.2% Brix, no optical scale to hold up to the light. Add it to your cart and the foam-lined MA800 hard case comes off your total automatically. No code needed.

About the MA871 Digital Brix Refractometer
If you've used an optical refractometer, this is the upgrade. Instead of holding it up to the light and reading a faint line, you put a couple drops on the prism, press read, and get a number in about two seconds. It's accurate to ±0.2% Brix and temperature compensated, so a cool morning sample reads the same as a warm one. The measurement follows the ICUMSA standard used for sugar analysis. Keep in mind a refractometer is for reading sugar before fermentation starts, since alcohol skews the reading once it's underway.
