Why can I not take my final fermented gravity reading with my refractometer? I have read somewhere that you can if u do some calculation. Any explanations or suggestions would be much appreciated

I have not heard of any calculation but the reason is because the alcohol in the beer makes the reading way off. You have to have a hydrometer to test FG.
