I got a refractometer yesterday (along with 8 corny kegs and a 20# co2 tank).
Anyway, the refractometer measures in Baume'.
Does anyone else have one that does that?
I checked iBrewmaster and Beersmith and neither have a calculator for Baume' to specific gravity.
Luckily, thanks to google, I found a conversion chart that will work.

Interesting as I"ve never heard of Baume. Brix, Plato and Balling, which are all basically the same, so I looked it up and it seems Baume is used in industrial chemistry and pharmacology.

I just learned something new, must not be dead yet!:mug:
