Always love new toys. I've been using refractometers for about 5 years now as a hydrometer replacement, but would like to get rid of the middleman (refractive index to S.G. computations). The Easy Dens is pricey but affordable. Is it worth the $$$.?
I like to take numerous measurements throughout the process from post mash to boil to fermentation to Final Gravity. How difficult is it to chill a sample from the boil for measuring, then cleaning for the next sample?
Since the device measures density, does turbidity throw off accuracy? Do I need clear samples free of suspended solids to get a reasonably accurate S.G.?
Looking for justification before SWMBO will grant Seal of Approval.
