• Protective Padded Hardshell Case

Thousands of food and beverage professionals and hobbyists, from chefs and food quality professionals to brewers and wine makers, have moved to digital MA885 Digital Brix / °Oechsle (°Oe) and °KMW (°Babo) meter for measurement of must and grapes 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.”

Summary

The Milwaukee digital Brix/°Oechsle (°Oe) / KMW (°Babo) refractometer is temperature compensated with a 0 to 50% Brix / 0 to 230°Oechsle °Oe) 0 to 42 / °KMW (°Babo) range and +/- 0.2% Brix / +/-1°Oechsle / +/-0.2 °KMW 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 MA885 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 a 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.
• The conversion used is based on the ICUMSA Methods Book (International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis).
