Anyone need/want a refractometer that measures in %Brix

[ameares8]

I just got a refractometer and low and behold it is not set to measure salinity. Instead, it is set up to measure sugar content in water/juices, which is %Brix. It is brand new and I have not used it. The place where I got it from will not take it back, so I am posting here to see if anyone wants to buy off of me. I don't know who would use it, but I am asking $100.00. The retail on it is $150. It looks the same as any other refractometer, but the scale is different.

Thanks,
Anthony

Its used for wine making. At least thats what i have seen it used for. I would advertise it on craigslist with winemaking in the title.

Yep thats a Brewers refracto. I tried to use my salinity refracto for my beer brewing and it wouldn't work

Yeah, I know you can use it for brewing, but did not know if anyone was interested in that here. The company is Grainger by the way. It was a clearence thing, with no returns. No problem with them, I buy stuff from them all of the time. I should have know better. Let me know if anyone is interested.

I brew from time to time and have kind of wanted one of those, but I don't have two nickels to rub together right now for discretionary spending. You might try e-mailing these guys: http://musiccitybrewers.com/
