New to the channel. I like what you're doing. Im interested in this refractometer, but ive had bad luck with cheap ones in the past. Have you compared readings with this with a hydrometer? Im sceptical of accuracy
Welcome, and appreciate the kind words! I was so excited to use it on brew day I didn’t think about doing a comparison until I was putting this video together! Will definitely be something I look into next time. Cheers 🍻
Just tried mine out for thefirst time today. An IPA that i just cold crashed after three weeks shows 1.021 on the hydrometer but 1.035 on the Kegland Sabre. Had used it earlier to get OG on a Berliner Weisse I just brewed but didnt check it with the hydrometer, now need to go pull a sample to check with hydrometer, frustrating
Oh wow, 14 points is quite a difference and understandably frustrating. All refractometers are skewed once alcohol is present. Did you account for that?
I have it, I'm having a real hard time seeing the readings. It almost seems like the light is too dim, so i'm not sure its actually charging properly. I've let it sit charged for like 12 hours and still doesnt seem like it's ever charged.
I did have one instance where I had trouble charging. I charged the night before my brew day, but the light didn’t turn on after 12-ish hours of charging. I don’t think I had a solid connection, and after changing position it was charged within an hour and light was very bright.
Thanks for the review!
Thanks bro! Cheers 🍻
Thanks for doing the video. Really appreciate it. I hope to see more videos from you in the future!
Loving the Saber, appreciate the comment! Cheers 🍻
Good job bro.
Thanks Curt, appreciate it brother! 🍻
