But this can save test beer loss of you take several readings during fermentation: few drops for refractometer instead of 100ml a test. | |

| Jul 7, 2017 at 6:56 | comment | added | chthon | @evilZymurgist: yes, I know that, I did not want to go too much in detail, just trying making clear what the possible differences are with refractometers. | |
