## Overview

The Ade Advanced Optics BCBI9177 refractometer is a dual-scale instrument designed for homebrewers and winemakers to measure sugar content with precision. Featuring Brix (0-32%) and Specific Gravity (1.000-1.120) scales, it replaces traditional hydrometers by offering faster, more accurate readings with automatic temperature compensation. Lightweight and portable, it includes essential tools and a 2-year warranty, making it an indispensable gadget for perfecting your craft wort measurements.

## Description

This refractometer is for measuring the sugar content of beer and includes an automatic temperature compensation of 10 - 30 degree Celsius. This refractometer can replace your hydrometer for easier and more accurate measurements. Simply use the dropper to take a sample of wort and put it on the prism. Then hold the refractometer up to the light and look through the eyepiece. Due to the dual scale there is no need convert to specific gravity as the scale measures both Brix and SG. Comes in a carry case with a 2 year warranty. Please check out other refractometers available from Ade Advanced Optics, custom ranges available on request.

Review: Works well - I compared it to my conventional hydrometer and it reads the same. The scale goes to 1.100, so it won't read anything above that, which is only a problem if you make mead. It is easy to use to take reading from the boil kettle, as the few drops cool down right away. All in all it looks well built and it comes in a soft case with a screwdriver for adjusting the 0 and a pipette for taking small small samples to be measured. Of course you realize that it only measure the sugar content in water. It will not read gravities correctly in fermented beer as the alcohol content creates erroneous readings.
Review: Accurate and affordable - Accurate and easy to use, Measures gravity of wort perfectly, I use it to check if preboil and post boil gravity is correct, product seems well made and does what it is made to do. Mine needed no adjustment out of the box. according to the instructions it is only accurate for unfermented wort yeast and alcohol alter readings, so use hydrometer for final gravity and checking progress of fermentation,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well!
*by J***D on May 8, 2014*

Have used this for a few weeks with no problems Really a joy to just splash boiling wort on it and know where my beer is vs force cooling a sample or looking up a temp compensation. Also usable as a cross check on gravity and ABV calculations by hydometer in case you forgot to take an OG or FG. Several websites and beer software packages do the math. Wanted one of these for years but never enough to spend a couple hundred dollars--great to buy one for well under 50 bucks that seems well built and accurate. Most of the brewing club members use one of these that have different brands but all built in the same factory. So why not 5 stars? Perhaps silly of me, but the big white letters in clunky font on the case: PORTABLE REFRACTOMETER Just reeks of cheap Chinese import. .
