Brix meter

[trish armstrong]

Hello, I am trying to source, Brix meters (to test sugars in solutions.)
Does anyone use these? Where did you purchase them? Are they easy to use?
Any info or help would be appreciated...
Cheers
Trish:)

We just use hydrometers from the brew shop. You can also buy a sugar hydrometer which used to be used specifically for diabetes checks prior to Testape.

Somewhere in internet land is a conversion table, coz all our little cherubs - well, the biggish ones really - had to do conversions from their hydrometer readings into brix as part of their EEI.

Brings back memories I was Lab Manager in 2 Juice factories in a past life. You'd think doing it day in and day out I'd know it off by heart.

this might help, conversion chart, we have the hand held brix meters but they were here before me so who knows where they came from.
