Alcohol Refractometer for Spirit Alcohol Volume Percent Measurement with Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC), Range 0-80% v/v.Alcohol Refractometer for Spirit Alcohol Volume Percent

I make my own gin, and this has been a super easy no-frills accurate way to check the ABV as the still runs through a cycle. Incredibly happy with this sturdy piece of equipment!

Much easier than old fashioned hydrometer.

This refractometer feels a little cheap, but it seems to measure alcohol content well enough for my use. Note, this is not an electronic device. You put some of the liquid on a glass plate and close the cover, then look through the end and read the alcohol content on a scale. While it doesn't require any electricity and will probably work a lot longer than an electronic meter, it is not going to be as accurate as an electronic device.

Fabulous. Love it. Within a percent or two which is pretty much all you can ask of something like this. Does whiskey, vodka, rum, etc.. does any spirit you really need.

I received this and read the instructions and proceeded to calibrate it, low and behold I tested it with the distilled water and it seemed like it was calibrated; I then proceeded to test a commercially available distilled spirit to ensure and again it was accurate. This made it very easy to test the ABV of the products produced by my hobby. I no longer need to waste my product using a hydrometer. This is an excellent addition to my toolbox and for the price to performance ratio you can’t beat it. Thank you. 👍🏽

I was truly surprised how accurate it was. I compare it to my hydrometer for proof and trails and also to store bought alcohol so I know the proof before I even start. You can get down to the exact number because it's super easy to read. If you have a hard time reading it try using a light or stand outside where the sun is shining.

Easy to use

The device works just fine but the scale is absolutely useless. You may be able to calibrate to distilled water and pull a accurate reading off scotch, but if you're looking to use this for beer/wine/mead then look elsewhere. The refractometer is meant to be used to find your specific gravity or brix. Things like proteins, yeast, sugar and anything else that refracts like (even color) with comepletely throw a reading out the door. This is why the product is scaled for distilled spirits. And since its scaled for %V/V you cant use it at all for specific gravity. I won't falt the product but had I been more informed when i made the purchase I would have never ordered this.

Excellent item it helps me a lot

Works as it should
