Title: Refractometer
Post by: feldmann on January 18, 2015, 03:28:52 PM

I've been looking to pick up a refractometer after using one at the mash occur. The best price I've found has been on Amazon and eBay. Where is a good place to get one?

This is the one that I'm currently looking at:

That one looks fine to me. I've heard of people getting cheap plastic ones that break easily. But that one looks the same as mine aluminium body brix and SG readout. Make sure you pick up some extra pipets (droppers) they usually only send it with one and they're quite disposable. You can get a bunch on eBay for a couple bucks.

That's identical to mine, no complaints here!
