Milwaukee MA883 – Digital Refractometer

• Digital LCD Readout
• Simple 1 Point Calibration
• Range: 0 to 28° Baumé
• Resolution: 0.1 °Baumé
• Accuracy: ±0.1 °Baumé

Thousands of food and beverage professionals and hobbyists, from chefs and food quality professionals to brewers and wine makers, have moved to digital °Baumé measurement from less accurate and less precise optical refractometers.

What people are saying

• “Anyone who produces wine, grape juice, maple syrup or craft beer should find this product one of the best investments they make on any piece of equipment.”
• “I am in love with this instrument. No more large samples. No more phony readings from badly made refractometers.”
• “Dramatically improved my commercial brewing consistency & efficiency. Now I can quickly stop my sparge when I get to my OG.”
• “I used this for finishing Maple Syrup. I had been trying to determine sugar content using temperature and a hydrometer. I found both very difficult to use. The refractometer was much easier.”
• “Very easy to measure the sugar in our must”

Summary

The Milwaukee digital °Baumé refractometer is temperature compensated with a 0 to 28 °Baumé range and +/- 0.1 °Baumé accuracy. It is easy to use with a simple two-button operation and fast with a response time under 2 seconds. Maintenance is a breeze also with an easy-to-clean sealed flint glass prism and stainless steel well. The MA883 eliminates the uncertainty of optical refractometers by providing an accurate digital readout.

• Fast, accurate results with digital dual level LCD readout.
• Easy measurement with just 2-3 drops of sample needed and results in less than 2 seconds.
• Simple one-point calibration using distilled or deionized water.
• Easy to clean, stainless steel sample well with unit rated to IP65 as “dust tight” and protected against water jets.
• Battery percent level indicator with automatic shut-off (batteries included).
• Ideal for winemakers, brewers, syrup producers, food producers and many other applications.
• MA883 converts the Brix readings to °Baumé based on the table found in the Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC International, 18Th Edition.
• 1 °Baumé is approximately equal to 1.8% Brix, and 1 °Baumé is roughly equivalent to 1 % alcohol when the wine is fully fermented.
