I think I'd trust a cheap refractometer more than a cheap hydrometer.
I just take one of the small pipettes that come with the...

Used them for years I have 3 for different things. Ideal for pre-ferment calculations (sugar) and with the right scale they predict %...

I bought a kegland saber refractometer after burning my hand taking a sample mid brew (thankfully it wasn't a bad burn). I have only...

You make that sound good. 😁
I dip my finger in and then drop the drip on the glass. Temperature corrected.
I know... Bad man 🤣🤣

This is where evaporation comes into play. That wee bit of steaming as the sample droplets cool can skew the readings higher than reality.

It was the advice to get three stable gravity measurements before racking. I found I can get to the same end point by racking earlier...

Although refractometers have temperature compensation so will tell you the gravity of you (say) 80 centigrade wort you have to remember...

I have used a £10 refractometer for quite a few years and it is virtually always the same as my hydrometer.
I still rely on the...

Thank you Neighbour

I regularly used a refractometer during the mash on my brew days but then used a hydrometer for OG and FG readings. Now my process is...
