Title: Easy way to see how well your yeast is working
Review: For discerning distillers and beverage enthusiasts, accurately measuring alcohol content is paramount. The Alcohol Refractometer promises a rapid and convenient solution, but does it deliver reliable results and justify its cost? Let's examine its strengths and weaknesses:Precise Potential:â¡ï¸ Rapid Analysis: Unlike hydrometers, which require time-consuming temperature adjustments, refractometers offer immediate results. Simply add a drop of your spirit, and the refractive index reveals the alcohol volume percentage (ABV) in mere seconds. Efficiency and precision collide!â¡ï¸ Wide Range: This refractometer typically measures ABVs between 0% and 80%, encompassing most distilled spirits like vodka, whiskey, and brandy. No need for multiple tools, just one convenient solution for diverse spirit-measuring needs.â¡ï¸ Calibration Confidence: Many refractometers boast automatic temperature compensation (ATC), ensuring accurate readings regardless of ambient temperature fluctuations. Consistency is key, and ATC delivers.Pricey Ponderings:â¡ï¸ Costly Convenience: Compared to traditional hydrometers, refractometers represent a significant investment. Consider the frequency of use and desired accuracy before committing to this pricier option.â¡ï¸ Limited Scope: While effective for distilled spirits, refractometers often struggle with fermented beverages like beer or wine due to their complex sugar profiles. Versatility might be lacking for brewers and vintners.â¡ï¸ Calibration Concerns: While ATC is convenient, some models require periodic calibration with a separate solution. Factor in the additional cost and time commitment for maintaining accuracy.The Verdict:The Alcohol Refractometer offers undeniable speed, precision, and convenience for measuring distilled spirits. However, its hefty price tag, limited scope, and potential calibration needs necessitate careful consideration. For infrequent use or fermented beverages, alternative methods might be more cost-effective. Ultimately, the choice hinges on your budget, spirit types, and desired level of accuracy. Choose wisely and raise a toast to precise spirit measurement!

Title: Good, but check calibration when you get it. (Not for Mead)
Review: Works well, but needed calibration out of the box. Best way to do it is to add 40% abv vodka to it and use the calibration screw to dial it in so it matches 40%. But any drinking alcohol with a known percentage will do. Don't use rubbing alcohol.Protip, the calibration screw is under the black cap.Edit: Doesn't work for mead, gives too high a reading. This tool is meant for spirits.

Title: Works great for proofing.
Review: I got one of those small oak aging barrels for Christmas then bought a size larger on sale from the seller. Went to the store and bought some legal moonshine and Everclear to increase the proof for aging. They work, the whiskey tastes great but I could tell by the heat that they were too hot and needed dilution. So i bought one of these Alcohol Refractometers. I calibrated using Reverse Osmosis water and tested the first barrel. it was 110 proof. A tad hot. I added some Poland Spring water until it proofed at 84, 42% alcohol. now we have some smooth aged bourbon to sip or make old fashion drinks to sip on the porch.

Title: Not nearly accurate enough
Review: Gets you in the ball park, if you like +/- 10% ABV readings. Tested against known values and it wasnât accurate enough. Calibrated properly.

Title:
Review: Tested with a few alcohol and it doesn't reflect the alcohol percentage as indicated. Tried to calibrate with distilled water, but even when knob is turned to maximum, it is still reflected as 6% abv. Then tried with a 40% whisky, and it showed 43%. Unable to compensate for the 6% accurately. Tried with a few, and it can give sensing of whether alcohol is higher, but not confident with the actual reading shown by this refractometer.
