My mom says she likes this place's IPA second best next only to my "tongue splitter ale" Some of her great food recipes use standard American and metric measurements whatever is most popular for that particular group. In the long run, who really cares if the measurement is metric or some American measure?
It's like why do we Americans like using a U. HItransplant Well-Known Member. GilaMinumBeer said:. For our purposes, Brix may be considered equivalent to Plato. On brewday, when I'm using my refractometer, all I do is multiply x 4 in my head, and it's close enough.
As far as systems of measurement, there are plenty of historical references on the Internet and real, paper books that discuss this. Traditional systems like the "English" - SAE, etc. AzimuthBrewery Member. Today I think I've decided to switch to Plato from SG for the simple fact that when taking a hydrometer reading in cloudy wheat beer the Plato scale is much easier to read i. I like everyone else's reasons too. HItransplant said:. Id attach the spreadsheet but Im not sure I can or if I know how.
Bob Well-Known Member. Plato was arrived at empirically, not mathematically. There are also a lot of charts available on the Internet. That's what I use when I'm using my refractometer on brew day, not an equation. I asked a local Microbrew why they use plato and their answer was pretty straight forward, all the neato digital equipment they use to measure gravity is in plato. Brewerforlife Well-Known Member.
I am A pro-brewer, and still use my hydrometer most of the time. I do have both, A refractometer for quick pre-ferm measurements, and a set of 3 plato sacchrometers.
The problem with the sacch. It takes a set of 3 to cover the whole range of a standard S. There is a good conversion chart in Palmer's book on page He also states that : wort deg. Brix divided by 1. Probably a waste of money at homebrew level, because of the large sample needed.
Hope this help's. Im at a weird cross roads in brewing calcs. I work in a brewery and we use palto, celcius, and kilo's since we're canadian. I was brought up homebrewing reading this forum and popular books so most of the time im converting to SG, F, and lbs. Tho I'm starting to understand it a bit better in Metric. The problem is F doesnt have any relavance to me but 30C does.
We use plato hydrometers, with different ones calibrated for sg and fg. I do it cause my brewmaster does it. And I probably keep on doin so cause that's the language of the industry. Same in music, we speak strange terms cause everyone else does and its how we can communicate.
I don't know where I'd be without mine; I've had them since my earliest days brewing professionally. I don't really perceive losses with the sample size on a homebrew scale, because I factor them in to start with.

I says to myself - I'm sure there is a SG refractometer out there. Sure enough - dual scale Delmarva United Homebrewers - President by inverse coup - former president ousted himself.
Quote from: mtnrockhopper on July 05, , pm. I considered buying one myself, until I read the reviews that said the SG scale is quite a bit off.
The Brix scale reads right though apparently. But if it can't read the SG scale right, then I don't want one. Technically, I think that's because a refractometer can't directly read SG.
And the problem is the relationship between SG and Plato are not perfectly linear. For the same reason, a hydrometer can't directly read Plato. The Athenian philosopher Plato c. Plato is considered by many to be the most important philosopher who ever lived.
He is known as the father of idealism in philosophy. His ideas were elitist, with the philosopher king the ideal ruler. Greek philosopher noted for his many written dialogues in which his mentor Socrates appears as the central character. Writing and the Western Self. Plato proposed that our lives go wrong in large part because we almost never give ourselves time to think carefully and logically enough about our plans.
And so we end up with the wrong values, careers and relationships. Plato wanted to bring order and clarity to our minds. Plato Gravity Scale is a measurement of the concentration of dissolved solids in a brewery wort. Brix is used for measuring the amount of sucrose dissolved in water. Plato is a measure of the weight of the solids dissolved in water. Plato — This indicates the ratio of fermentable sugars to water in the beer. One of the distinguishing elements of Zero Gravity beer is an adherence to the outstanding qualities of classic beer styles.
This requires painstaking attention to technique and recipe. Using the best malt and hops, their beers are matured to completion. Click to see full answer. It is expressed as a weight percentage of sucrose and is used to indicate the percentage by weight of extract sucrose in a solution. So, using this formula with a beer having an OG of 1.
