Beer Brewing Guide - Measuring

A refractometer is an easy way to measure the density of your wort during brew day. Simply place a few drops of wort on the glass, close the cover, point the refractometer to a light source and make th reading. Scale: 0 % to 18 % Brix with a 0.1 % resolution and 1.000 - 1.085 SG ATC (Automatic Temperature Compensation) range: 10 °C to 30 °CFor universal use.

A refractometer is an easy way to measure the density of your wort during brew day. Simply place a few drops of wort on the glass, close the cover, point the refractometer to a light source and make the reading. Scales: 0 % to 32 % Brix with a 0.2 % division 1.000 to 1.120 SG with a 0.001 division ATC (Automatic Temperature Compensation) range: 10 °C to 30 °CRecommended for brewers.

The Milwaukee digital BRIX refractometer is used by thousands of food and beverage professionals and hobbyists who want more accurate and precise measurements than those produced by optical refractometers. It is temperature compensated with a 0 to 85 percent BRIX range and +/- 0.2 percent accuracy. Easy to operate, easy to maintain, and works fast. Range: 0 to 85% Brix Resolution: 0.1% | 0.1°C (0.1°F) Accuracy: ±0.2% Brix | ±0.3°C | ±0.5°F Easy measurement with just 2-3 drops of sample needed and results less than 2 seconds. Simple one-point calibration using distilled or deionized water. Battery percent level indicator with automatic shut-off (batteries included).

CDR BeerLab® system CDR BeerLab® consists of a thermostatically controlled analyzer with photometric technology using LED emitters and kits of reagents that are pre-filled into vials and ready to use. CDR BeerLab® Junior is the smaller version for 3 out of 27 chosen analyzes. In comparison to the CDR BeerLab® this system comes without a printer, 16 incubation chambers, multi analyzes mode in background, and Bluetooth port for a bar code scanner.Reduced analysis times With CDR BeerLab® you are finally free to carry out the analyses independently, in your brewery, quickly and easily, without having to rely on an external laboratory. It is possible to analyze 3 samples simultaneously and constantly monitor the production process, obtaining specific answers in a few minutes. Easy to use The system has been designed so that it can be used not only in the laboratory, but also on the production line for real-time results, by personnel without specific technical training. The analysis methods, shown on the display, are simpler than traditional methods and can be performed in just a few steps. If required, the HELP function will guide the operator step by step through the procedure. The result is automatically calculated, displayed and printed out. Reliable CDR BeerLab® guarantees high sensitivity, a wide measuring range and excellent repeatability of the results thanks to the innovative photometric technology using LED light sources and fixed wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet to the visible spectrum (with a range of 0 to 6 optical density). The analysis results are correlated with those of the reference methods. Pre-filled and disposable reagents are packaged in bags of 10 tests, developed and produced by the CDR research laboratories. In just 15 minutes, up to 16 samples can be analysed with CDR BeerLab® and up to 3 samples with the Junior model.

Float keeps track of your brew's fermentation activity, temperature and SG anytime, anywhere, so you brew better beers. The device can be used in your fermentation vessel. The measurement data gives you all kinds of useful information: it shows you when fermentation has stopped, so you can bottle your beer. You can also use the temperature data to monitor the dry hopping (dry hopping) temperature and correct it if necessary. Real-time measurement data, including historical data Food-safe housing WiFi connection Easy to charge batteryConnectivity with Grainfather and Brewfather apps How does the Brewbrain Float work? You simply connect the Float to your wifi access point. Create an account at My Brewbrain or log in with your existing account. Switch to "Measure" and place the Float in your brew to start measuring! All your data is displayed on the online platform, either fullscreen or in an overview on your smartphone, all equally easy and convenient.
