Smart Brix Refractometer, YINMIK Digital Brix (0-60%) Tester, Sugar Temperature Meter with ATC, Portable Brix Meter for Fruit, Home Wine & Beer Brewing, Coffee, Maple Syrup, Juice, Food, Vegetable

I was quite excited to get this. I have the "look through" one. It works. But, this seems much easier and accurate. As I start my next round of home brews, I plan to fully test this and check out all available readings. Nice case to protect it.

I love when a tool teaches you to think about things in a new way. When I first started using this I was worried that the readings were drifting and that I may have received a defective unit. Rather than that, it turned out the drift I was noticing was actually the sensor tracking the evaporation rate of the bourbon I'd chucked on there resulting in an increase sugar concentration. How cool is that!I'm pretty new to Brix Refractometers so I didn't know anything about properly preparing samples at the start. For anyone who may similarly be a novice it's worth noting that the bubbles from carbonated beverages can also mess with readings. It's easy enough to shake a sample first to get it to go flat quicker, but just something to keep in mind.Outside of that this tool has been very intuitive to work with and has produced consistent readings from stable samples. I'm very happy with this.

I've been using this Brix meter with my fruit canning and processing. I try really hard to only add necessary sugar to my syrups, fruit butters, juices, jams, etc. becsuse I like to taste the natural flavor of the food. This meter has helped me hone my practice. It is simple to use, the dudplay is easy to read, and the meter has been reliable, so far. It is definitely helping me streamline the process.

Excellent tool, I use this to measure the sugar content of home brewed kombucha. Easy to use, easy to read. Really a great resource.

I chose this brix meter to help me determine the sweetness range in my hot sauce recipes. Whatever I may be using to add sweetness to my recipes, I wanted to determine taste versus brix percentage so that I could replicate my recipes based upon sweetness factor. The meter works perfectly, quickly, and it's simple to use. Highly recommended for this purpose, especially for Amazon's low listed selling price.
