Adding to clarify refractometers use.
Mar 2, 2016 at 19:55 comment added Dan Hutt Ah yes, you are correct @jsled. There are a number of calculators and apps out there that you can use if you do wish to use the refractometer to determine your final ABV. I generally just use the refractometer to ensure fermentation has stopped and if my batch is bigger than 2 gallons I just use a hydrometer to snag that actual OG and FG.
