A rough conversion between specific gravity, SG, and either degrees Brix, Plato or Balling can be made by dividing the thousandths of SG above 1 (which is often referred to as gravity points) by 4. So a specific gravity of 1.048 has 48 gravity points, and 48 divided by 4 would be approximately 12 degrees Plato, Balling or Brix.
Measuring brix and percent acidity of a sudachi. Degrees Brix (symbol °Bx) is a measure of the dissolved solids in a liquid, and is commonly used to measure dissolved sugar content of a solution. [1] One degree Brix is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution and represents the strength of the solution as percentage by mass. If the solution ...
In homebrewing, a brewing refractometer is used to measure the specific gravity before fermentation to determine the amount of fermentable sugars which will potentially be converted to alcohol. Brix refractometers are often used by hobbyists for making preserves including jams, marmalades and honey.
It is important, where any conversion to °P is involved, that the proper pair of temperatures be used for the conversion table or formula being employed. The current ASBC table is (20 °C/20 °C) meaning that the density is measured at 20 °C (68 °F) and referenced to the density of water at 20 °C (68 °F) (i.e. 0.998203 g/cm 3 or 0.0360624 ...
The refractometer will be calibrated in a must weight scale, but as refractometers actually measure refractive index (of the grape must in this case), the must weight scale on the refractometer is in effect an indirect measurement, with refractive indices having been pre-converted to their must weight equivalents.
A 2023 analysis cited by Boston Consulting Group valued the global market share of no- or low-alcohol beers, wines, and spirits at more than $13 billion and said sales were expected to grow at an ...

The Oechsle scale is a hydrometer scale measuring the density of grape must, [1] which is an indication of grape ripeness and sugar content used in wine-making. It is named for Ferdinand Oechsle (1774–1852) and it is widely used in the German , Swiss and Luxembourgish wine-making industries.
