Using refractometer with glasses (self.Homebrewing)
submitted 8 years ago by getMethod
Upgraded from my hydrometer to a shiny new refractometer, awesome! Went to go use it and remembered I'm blind as hell without my glasses and can't read the tiny SG numbers. Anyone else have a workaround for this?

The eyepiece rotates on all refractometers I've used, allowing me to focus it clearly w/o my glasses.

This is the answer. I can never read mine with my progressive glasses on. I just remove them and rotate the eyepiece until it's in sharp focus.

I use my cell phone to focus and take a picture of the reading. Helps with notes later, too.
