Refractometer

[sibsonbrew]

Hi looking to buy a Refractometer to make it easier to take measurements while making my wort with the grainfather.
The prices go anything from £50 down to £15 is there anybody that could recommend one or is it you get what you pay for?

I bought one a few months ago from China but I'm still unsure what I'm supposed to do with it. I'll keep an eye on this thread.

Think it was this one although I paid �£12 delivered. Instructions were useless and it came decently boxed and with a dropper (I bought extra at time of ordering.) It took around 3 weeks to arrive.

Make sure you read all instructions on use as they are great for reading OG but when I tried to read my FG it read 6Brix and I kept throwing yeast at it not knowing that I needed to add a correction factor due too the alcohol produced.
