- BRIX Scale Explained -- Measuring Hard Cider and other Sweet Things
Today we're talking about about BRIX Scale, another agreat way to measure the sweetness of things like hard cider, wine, and even sweet corn! Hard cider is a nice change of pace for a beer nerd but I always look to learn more about my alcoholic beverages. Enjoy!

I really like how this channel is developing and becoming better every day. Keep it up Ryan!
Thanks so much! I always appreciate hearing from you
Did you know: Chemically, sucrose is made of one molecule of glucose bonded to one molecule of fructose.
Science. Gotta love it. Great vid. Cheers
Nothing better than science and beer... or cider. Cheers!
I switched to a refractometer for measuring wort and beer, and it was a great decision.
Thinking about doing the same soon!
Great content as always👍
nice video. I have a tart cherry cider fermenting right now. I like to make a new cider each month.
Mmmm. Sounds tasty, let me know how ti turns out!
Horrible puns, great video!
Interesting & Educational Video.
Thanks so much!
You are Welcome
Ever have Dicken Cider?
Some good information.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! Cheers
Very timely, hard ciders are gaining steam :)
Yes they are, more craft ciders popping up all over
Just a clarification I'd like to post here, don't trust a refractometer as a Brix reading during fermentation, the alcohol content developing can throw off the light in the refractometer giving you a way different reading
Thanks for the great tip on that. Cheers!
I use a Refractometer for my wines and my home brews Way easier.
I don't have one (yet!) but it looks much much simpler
Mmmmm Cider... sorry I cheated on you beer...
Get that refractometer. There so much better than that glass tube that ALWAYS rolls of the table. Less solution at any temp. Save it for the F.G. readings. Cheers =)
Right after I hit the reply button, I remembered, they make plastic ones now.
I am going to get one soon. Cheers!
why does the refractometer give me a 15% result when i measure pure alcohol?
An interesting question I've never tested. I think the answer has something to do with the design of a refractometer. It was designed to measure how light bends through a solution and estimate estimate alcohol content based on that. Since pure alcohol is not a solution I think that would throw it off significantly.
What do you mean : “ pure alcohol “ ?
