Howdy -
I have 4 brews under my belt and am constantly looking to upgrade each part of my process. (Already thinking of a 27-gallon conical fermenter.) Anyway, I've used the hydrometer for these batches, but I'm looking to get a refractometer. Looking at both kinds, the "look through" kind, and the digital display kind.
One point someone brought up in a review for a refractometer was that in general they don't work well for determining ABV because the measurements after it starts producing alcohol will be off due to the alcohol content.
Is there any truth to this? Or is this user way way off?
Cheers,
Kojones
