One BRAND NEW MISCO Beer Refractometerfeatures a Plato scale, Dissolved Solids scale, Specific Gravity (D 20/20)
scale, Bewer's Points scale, and a propylene glycol freeze point scale. Use the
Dissolved Solids scale for precisely measuring the sugar content of wort used in
beer making. The Dissolved Solids, Points, and Specific Gravity scales are based
on the mathematical relationship between real wort sugars and refractive index
so they will provide a more accurate indication of true sugar content and can be
used interchangeably with Brix, °Plato, and Balling units in calculators and
equations.The Plato scale is based on the relationship between sucrose and
refractive index. The propylene glycol scale is ideal for measuring propylene
glycol heat transfer fluid (antifreeze) in wort coolers and chiller systems.
Whether you are a beer chemist working for a multinational brewery, or a
passionate brewer crafting one-of-a-kind beer in your own home, the goal of the
MISCO Digital Beer Refractometer is to help you by providing the most accurate
possible beer measurements from start to finish.
The MISCO Digital Beer
Refractometer is not just a repurposed Brix refractometer. MISCO Pro-Brewing
Scales™ are scientifically derived from a beer model with a very complex sugar
profile, which is influenced strongly by maltose, and specific to wort. As there
is very little sucrose in wort, measurements and temperature compensation are
naturally much more accurate than sucrose-based Brix refractometers. Furthermore,
because the refractometer is made specifically for beer, the user no longer
needs to use a refractometer correction factor when plugging dissolved solids or
specific gravity readings into beer calculators.
Fast, convenient, and
easy to use, the MISCO Digital Beer Refractometer requires only a fraction of
the sample size required by traditional hydrometers. Simply place a drop or two
of wort in the stainless steel well and press a button. The beer refractometer
delivers a nearly instantaneous digital readout on a large backlit LCD display.
The digital readout removes the subjectivity associated with interpreting where
a boundary line crosses tiny little scale divisions.
Precision is
assured thanks to MISCO’s proven OPTICAL-ENGINE®, which is at the heart of every
Digital Beer Refractometer. Optical-Engine technology features high-precision
sapphire optics, the next hardest substance to diamond, which improves the speed
and accuracy of temperature measurements. Competing digital refractometers only
use glass prisms. A 1,024 element high-definition detector array provides more
than eight times the resolution of competing 128 element low-definition detector
arrays. The MISCO array has more than 3,256 pixels per inch (ppi) resolution
compared with 400 ppi resolution in competing digital refractometers. The net
result is an instrument that is more rugged and more precise.
