Description
Thousands of food and beverage professionals and hobbyists, from chefs and food quality professionals to brewers and wine producers, have switched to the MA884 Digital Brix and Potential Alcohol digital meter to measure from less accurate and less accurate optical refractometers.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING “
Anyone who produces wine, grape juice, maple syrup, or craft beer should find this product to be one of the best investments they make in any piece of equipment.”
“I’m in love with this instrument. No more large samples. No more false readings from poorly made refractometers.”
“I drastically improved my consistency and efficiency of commercial crafting. Now I can quickly stop my bubbling when I get to my OG.”
“I used this to finish the maple syrup. I had been trying to determine the sugar content using temperature and a hydrometer. I found both very difficult to use. The refractometer was much easier.”
ABSTRACT
The Milwaukee Digital Brix and Potential Alcohol Refractometer is temperature compensated with a potential alcohol range of 0 to 50% Brix and 0 to 25% v/v and accuracy of +/- 0.2% Brix and potential alcohol. It is easy to use with simple two-button operation and fast with a response time of less than 2 seconds. Maintenance is also very simple with an easy-to-clean sealed flint glass prism and a stainless steel well. The MA884 takes the uncertainty out of optical refractometers by providing an accurate digital readout.
DESIGN FEATURES-Fast
and accurate results with dual-level digital LCD readout.
-Easy measurement with only 2-3 sample drops needed and results in less than 2 seconds.
-Simple one-point calibration using distilled or deionized water.
-Easy-to-clean stainless steel sample well with unit rated to IP65 as “dust-tight” and protected against water jets.
-With automatic shut-off (batteries included).
-Ideal for winemakers, brewers, syrup producers, food producers and many other applications.
-The conversion used is based on the ICUMSA (International Commission on
Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis) Method Book.
