Refractometer
I got a refractometer for christmas (YAY!). My main interest in it is during sparge to know where the runoff gravity is at with a tiny sample. Somehow they figured to get me the temperature-adjusting one..
I was wondering, though, during fermentation does the alcohol throw the readings off? I'm sure I read this somewhere, but don't recall where. It would be great to keep an eye on all stages of beer/wine with only a couple of drops. Any experience/knowledge about this out there?

Re: Refractometer
I'm not an expert on this and don't even own a refractometer, but this link looks pretty informative. Good luck!

Re: Refractometer
That's exactly what I was looking for! And the spreadsheet will be very helpful. Thanks! Good find.

Re: Refractometer
No worries and good luck! Does this mean you will be brewing again soon? There are too many NADAs and NOPEs in your brew list.
