One of the indispensable devices for a winegrower and winemaker is a refractometer. Why, you ask? A refractometer is a relatively inexpensive but important piece of measuring equipment used by winemakers in the vineyard and during the winemaking process. A durable outer structure made of metal, rubber and plastic protects a polished optical glass prism and internal mirrors. After you place a few drops of grape juice on the prism, the winemaker can determine the sugar content by pointing the device at a daylight source and looking through the eyepiece. Questions often arise about a refractometer: how to measure the strength of moonshine, the density of the wort or the strength of the mash. Today we are discussing the secrets of the refractometer: how it works, what it shows, how it is useful in winemaking. In this way, you can measure the density of both mash for moonshine and beer or wine wort. ❓ Did you like the video?
