Anyone have refractometer calibration fluid?

Does anyone have any locally? I would like to more accurately calibrate my refractometer.

I have several bottles. Would have given you one a couple of nights ago when you came over...ha

HA! I didn't even know I needed it until last night. Maybe I can come get some in the next week or so. Thanks.

Here is an article to make your own at home:

One of the advantages of having access to a lab is the ability to make your own calibration fluid. I made some yesterday (using the article listed above) and calibrated the refractometer last night. I was off by 0.002. What I thought was 1.025 specific gravity ended up being 1.023. I am going to try to raise it to 1.025 over the next few weeks.
