Honey Refractometer for Moisture, Brix and Baume, 3-in-1 Uses, 58-90% Brix Scale Range, Ideal for Honey, Maple Syrup, and Molasses, Bee Keeping Supplies

This was my first experience with a refractometer when making maple syrup and I found it easier to use and less messy than the hydrometer I used for brewing beer in the past. It worked exactly as described and came perfectly calibrated according to my testing with extra virgin olive oil. I had read a few reviews mentioning the numbers on the scale were difficult to read while others found it easy to read; I did not experience any difficulty and found the size of the numbers acceptable. The size of the instrument is about what I expected, not finding it too large or too small. Overall it was well worth the money and my maple syrup turned out perfectly.

Normally I use a hydrometer when making maple syrup but after reading an article that promoted this refractometer, I figured I'd give it a try this year. It works really well and is much less mess than the hydrometer. Don't get me wrong, they both are useful and I will continue to use both but this thing is a game changer. SUPER easy to use AND to clean. Not nearly as fragile or messy as the hydrometer and makes it easier to pinpoint my sugar content to within .5 brix. The instructions state that it is calibrated before shipment but I found it was off by abount 1 brix. Super easy to calibrate using the included Screwdriver. HIGHLY recommend.

Works quite well and pretty easy to prep your sample & view it.

I am new to bee keeping & this tool was very helpful in my extraction process. Sometimes honey frames are not yet capped but the honey is “ready” others still need time. Very helpful in knowing which frames to return to the hive to extract later. Reasonable price. Would recommend & very easy to use

Works great

This tool is excellent for testing honey moisture. The only thing is you need to calibrate the meter at the same place and temp you plan to test the honey for it to be accurate

Seems to work well for measuring moisture content of our honey. Factory calibration was off just a small bit (70.5). I re-calibrated with extra virgin olive oil to 71.5 on the Brix scale.

Easy to use and already calibrated.
