Alcohol Analyzing Bundle:
EasyDens and SmartRef Combo
- Alcohol content determination of finished beer (± 0.5 %v/v)
- Results for real extract (± 0.2 %w/w), original gravity (± 0.8 %w/w)
- Extract content and fermentation tracking
- Smart data management via the Brew Meister app
The EasyDens & SmartRef Combo combines density and refractive index to determine the alcohol content in fermenting and finished beer, wine, kombucha, and liqueur. Via a mobile app, you can access a range of features: automatic temperature compensation, application-specific corrections, and the ability to control measuring conditions.
Key features
A smart combination for alcohol content measurement
- Determine alcohol content in your fermenting and finished beer, wine, kombucha, and liqueur
