Tips
1
Refractometers read in Brix but need correction after fermentation starts (alcohol skews readings)2
Most wine grapes are harvested between 22-26 Brix for table wineOpen formula
SG = 1 + (Brix / (258.6 - 0.8796 × Brix))
Potential ABV ≈ Brix × 0.59
Converts sugar content (Brix) to specific gravity and estimates potential alcohol.
