Hey all,
I've been using my Refractometer for my OG and FG Brix Readings and found weird waves in my readings. After chatting with a fellow brewer, he pointed out that the Refractometer is ineffective after fermentation because of the inconsistent light defraction by alcohol. He has suggested going back to the Hydrometer for FG readings.
So my question is if there is any known Hydrometer reader that takes less volume than the traditional one we all bought with our Homebrew kits? I've always felt a minor tear when that vile of beer didn't make it to the CO2, and especially when 6 or 12 test were all drunk prematurely.
