Has anybody used one of these pricey gizmos?
I have a regular refractometer, and although it works, I find it to be hard to read. The measurement line is a bit fuzzy, and I sometimes can't tell the difference between 14 and 14.5 brix. Usually, I just break out the hydrometer.
They can cost over $200, but More Beer has one for $195 and eBay for $120. There are people here who've spent $5k for a BrewMagic. Surely somebody has tried one. For $120, I'm (kind of) tempted. Christmas is coming, you know.
