How to use a refractometer for honey:
A honey refractometer is a useful tool for measuring the water content in honey, the Brix value and the Baumé degree.
Using an analogue refractometer, begin by making sure the glass measuring surface in clean and dry. Next, use a small spoon to scoop a sample of honey and place a small amount onto the glass surface. Be careful not to damage or scratch the glass when doing this. Press the flap on the end of the honey refractometer down firmly and make sure there are no air pockets or large gaps in the honey before measuring. Point the device at a light source and look through the eyepiece and adjust focus to suit needs. The visible line between the light and dark indicates the value on your desired scale.
