Hi,
Could someone please explain to be, in simple terms, when I can and can't use a refractometer? I understand, or think I understand, that with alcohol present the refractometer reading needs adjusted to give an accurate reading. Is the Brix value also inaccurate, or is it just the sg value?
I posted on another forum about a brew I had done which stop fermenting at what I thought was a too high gravity. That discussion quickly went over my head!
Thanks,
Steven
