I’ve never heard of a refractometer!

You're right that refractometers won't give a perfect FG like hydrometer will. There are a lot of free online calculators to approximate FG from a brix reading.

You'd want one that reads brix and sg. The sg can be used for your original gravity. The brix would be needed at start and end of fermentation to calculate fg. It uses a lot less volume than a hydrometer and the temperature can be accounted for (within reason)
