The EasyDens from Anton Paar was developed as a digital gravity/alcohol tester for small commercial breweries, but this product is just as useful in the winemaking process—from measuring and tracking the sugar content of grapes in the field to measuring alcohol levels at the end of fermentation. With only a small sample being needed, the EasyDens eliminates the need to fill up a hydrometer jar or using a refractometer and spread sheet to determine your test results. A tiny 2 ml sample is all that you need for an accurate Brix reading. Alcohol % can also be tracked at any point during fermentation. The unit hooks up to your smartphone via Bluetooth and stores various fermentation "profiles" enabling you to track fermentation progress, alcohol levels, and help know when it's time to bottle your wine!
Brix Measurements
- Range: -10 °Brix to 80 °Brix
- Accuracy: 0.3 °Brix
- Resolution: 0.1 °Brix
In order to get accurate measurements, please note your sample will need to have the solids filtered out and degassed prior to taking measurements. A simple coffee filter is recommended for filtering samples.
