This model operates using the Brix scale and provides quick readings with only a drop of honey placed on the prism surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1420\" data-end=\"1749\"\u003eTo use, place a small honey sample on the screen and close the cover to spread it into a thin layer. Hold the refractometer up to a bright light and look through the adjustable eyepiece. The point where the two colors meet on the scale indicates the moisture content. After reading, wipe the screen clean with the included cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1751\" data-end=\"1996\"\u003eATC (Automatic Temperature Compensation) is built into the refractometer, helping ensure accurate readings even when sample temperatures vary. For best results, calibrate the refractometer using fluid at the same temperature as the honey sample.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1998\" data-end=\"2224\"\u003eBeekeepers should harvest honey only when moisture content is below 18%. Honey harvested at or above 18% moisture may ferment. Even properly harvested honey can absorb moisture from the air if not stored in a sealed container.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2226\" data-end=\"2512\"\u003eCalibration can be done using the included calibration fluid or extra virgin olive oil. Place a drop on the prism, close the cover, and adjust the calibration screw until the reading measures 72% solids or 28% water. Distilled water may also be used and should measure approximately 1%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2514\" data-end=\"2652\"\u003eBeekeepers commonly test honey before harvesting by taking multiple readings from different supers, or after extraction prior to bottling.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSee our \u003c\/span\u003eentire collection of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.foxhoundbeecompany.com\/collections\/honey-harvesting-supplies\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHarvesting and Bottling\u003c\/a\u003e pro\u003cspan\u003educts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foxhound Bee Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47288944689404,"sku":"HH670","price":69.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/1648\/7234\/files\/Hand-Held-Honey-and-Juice-Refractometer-with-ATC-Foxhound-Bee-Company_f6156e6e-4723-41b8-932a-5870bec36a43.png?v=1751295815","url":"https:\/\/proudlibertarian.com\/en-de\/products\/hand-held-honey-and-juice-refractometer-with-atc","provider":"Proud Libertarian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
