Palm Abbe Digital Wine-Alcohol Refractometer
Measure the potential alcohol content in grape must & the actual alcohol content in the finished wine.
The new MISCO Palm Abbe Digital Wine-Alcohol Refractometer is specifically designed to test the potential alcohol content in grape must, as well as the actual alcohol content by volume in the finished wine. The measurements are made with a precision comparable to mid-range benchtop refractometers that cost thousands of dollars more. This is a tool that professional winemakers can easily afford, offering a low environmental impact alternative to more expensive equipment.
The determination of the sugar content (Brix) of grape must is clearly one of the most important measurements to a winemaker. Brix is the ratio of pure sucrose in a grape must relative to the total mass of the solution. The Palm Abbe Digital Wine/Alcohol Refractometer can quickly and accurately display Brix to 0.1% and actual sugar content in grams/liter.
It is often advantageous for wineries to estimate the potential alcohol content of a given grape must prior to fermentation. With only one or two drops of grape must, the Palm Abbe wine/alcohol refractometer can quickly and accurately measure the predicted actual alcohol content in accordance with international standards.
The actual alcohol content by volume of a specific finished wine can also be determined after distillation, a method recognized by international bodies. After distilling a small amount of wine, the ethanol distillate is measured on the Palm Abbe Digital wine/alcohol refractometer, and the actual alcohol content (percent by volume) or specific gravity is displayed. (Note: It is impossible to measure the alcohol content of wine by directly measuring the finished wine on a refractometer. The wine must first be distilled, and then the distillate is tested for alcohol. Please see our wine guide for more information).
Protection against erroneous readings due to temperature differences, a major concern in refractive index measurement, is ensured with non-linear temperature compensation for grape juice. Temperature compensation is automatic for liquids between 0 and 50 °C (32 to 122 °F).
The stainless steel sample well requires only a few drops of liquid to make measurements. A simple, user-friendly interface consists of two buttons: one for readings and the other to step through various menu options. A large dual-line, multilingual LCD display is easy to read, even in low light. Prompts and measurements can be selectively displayed in English, Spanish, French, German, or Russian.
Special models are available with scales for various international units, including refractive index, specific gravity @ 20 C, specific gravity @ 17.5 C, density (kg/L), Plato, Baume, Oechsle, Klosterneuburger Mostwaage (KMW), and actual sugar content in grams per liter or grams per kilogram. Scales are additionally available for measuring the potential alcohol content of grape must and the actual alcohol percent by volume of the finished wine.
With the Palm Abbe PA203X, you have the flexibility to mix and match up to five different scales of your choice, giving you the ability to create a truly customized wine-testing instrument.
