Misco PA202X-800-802 Beer Refractometer - Wort Dissolved Solids & Specific Gravity (D20/20 C)

Overview

This specialized instrument, the Misco PA202X-800-802 Beer Refractometer, is a dual-scale digital refractometer designed for accurate wort analysis in beer brewing. This refractometer precisely measures both Dissolved Solids and Specific Gravity (D20/20 °C), providing brewers with essential data for quality control and process optimization.

The Misco Digital Beer Refractometer addresses the need for accurate wort measurement, offering a significant improvement over traditional methods and general-purpose refractometers. It replaces estimations from sucrose-based Brix refractometers with precise measurements derived from Pro-Brewing Scales™ specifically calibrated for the complex sugar composition of wort. This ensures greater accuracy in determining true sugar content and eliminates the need for manual correction factors.

This dual-scale digital beer refractometer offers numerous benefits for both professional and home brewers. Its Pro-Brewing Scales™ provide a more accurate representation of wort sugar content compared to Brix scales. The instrument requires only a small sample size and delivers near-instantaneous digital readouts on a large backlit LCD display. Its advanced OPTICAL-ENGINE® technology ensures precision and durability, while automatic temperature compensation and automatic water calibration simplify operation. This refractometer empowers brewers with the tools to optimize their process and achieve consistent results.
