Hi all
I got a refractometer a couple of weeks ago and have been using it to check the OG of a few brews now. I really like it and find it much easier to see than a hydrometer. However I was reading a home brewing book yesterday that seemed to said refractometers are pretty much useless for brewing especially for measuring FG because the alcohol content will throw off the reading and I was wondering if there was any truth to that.
