Dildometer ftw
I suppose... you might get lonely on a desert island...

another use for it would be bludgeoning pigs for food.

Just make sure to clean it up between the 3 activities of brewing, dildoing and bludgeoning.

Why cant I have both?

I use both & both are always bang on. Ive a brix lad so have to use beersmith on my phone to convert brix to gravity. Handy yokes. Wish I got one that had gravity & brix on it though.
On tap: Flanders, Gose,
Fermenting: Oatmeal Brown, 200ish Fathoms,
Ageing: bretted 1890 export stout.
To brew:  2015 RIS, Kellerbier, Altbier.

Here's the proof. Is the refractometer fukked or what it is?
Readings are always the same on water or wort.
Bad day brewing is better than good day working.

Lads you don't use that value as FG, you put the brix or SG OG and that value into a formula ???!!!

See attached or just use beersmith

@Tube: prism isn't fukked, just took a shot in front of yellow halogen light.
@CH: thanks for the chart, that is the missing element
Bad day brewing is better than good day working.
