Refractometers 

The HI96812 portable refractometer converts the % Brix of a wine, juice or must sample to °Baume. This conversion is based on tables found in the Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC International, 18th Edition. One °Baume is approximately equal to 1.8% Brix and 1% alcohol when the wine is fully fermented. The HI96812 is an easy to use tool for winemakers for measuring sugar in grapes or must, in the field or in the lab.
