Refractometer

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330117155160
I decided to buy one of these ATC 0-32% Brix refractometers earlier this week... came in today and seems well made for the price ($33 delivered).
Thought I'd pass it along...

Got the same one and used it for the first time on my brew last weekend. Did the DI water calibration, it was spot on. Works great. So much easier than a hydrometer.

That's a damn good price. Does it only read in Brix?

Agh. I just ordered this. For some reason my postage comes up as US to canada. The seller is in Vancouver BC for gods sake!! $12 USD for shipping that to kelowna? I don't think so. Unless it's couriered.. and it seems to be "standard" delivery.. so i'm guessing Canada post.
OK 2 diplomas and 25 years computer exoerince yet I am a relative ebay newb.

john, what made you decide on the 0-32% is that made for juice?
is it better than the 0-25%? what does 25% brix = in specific gravity?

Here is a conversion chart I found: http://www.fermsoft.com/gravbrix.php
**Edit** The 25 brix model would probably do everything I need but I just went ahead and got the 32 brix model.
1 brix is roughly .004 gravity points. I plan on just plugging the brix into ProMash and let it calculate it for me.
