OPTi Digital Handheld Refractometer - Beer ABV (Wort/Brix/Zeiss)

An OPTi Digital Handheld Refractometer that has 3 preset scales for the production of beer.

The primary scale in this OPTi digital refractometer is for brewers looking to measure Wort prior to fermentation. The scale of Wort Specific Gravity (SG) offers brewers a far better way to measure when compared to the conventional method of purely using a hydrometer.
Not only will you need far less sample with an OPTi refractometer (no waste of that precious brew) but in wet brew-house conditions this pocket sized refractometer is far easier to handle.

Dropped glass hydrometer jars are a thing of the past.

The Brix scale is now often used by brewers with the aid of common online calculators. The Zeiss scale is used in conjunction with a hydrometer to calculate the alcohol content of finished beers to an accuracy of 0.5 %ABV and is commonly used to assess the progress of in-bottle fermentation.

Scale A is set to Wort SG (Sucrose Equivalent)

Scale B is set to °Brix (ATC)

Scale C is set to °Zeiss (ABV) 

The OPTi Digital Handheld Refractometer - Wine ABV (Zeiss/Brix) scales are preselected at despatch, but may be reassigned using the scale selection method detailed here.
