Digital alcohol refractometer HO22

Digital Refractometer for Alcohol Measurement (0–80%) – Precise Control for Beekeeping Products

Take your bee product processing to the next level. This portable pocket-sized digital refractometer is a practical tool for beekeepers who, in addition to honey, also produce mead or propolis tincture. The device measures alcohol content based on the principle of light refraction, and thanks to its built-in microprocessor, it displays the result within seconds with accuracy you can rely on.

Applications in Beekeeping Practice

Traditional hydrometers tend to be fragile, difficult to read, and often require a larger sample volume. A digital refractometer is a more convenient solution that saves both material and time. It is particularly suitable for:

1. Preparing propolis tincture: Propolis is best macerated in high-proof alcohol (typically 60–80%). With a refractometer, you can easily check the alcohol concentration before use and during preparation to achieve consistent quality and efficacy of the tincture.

2. Monitoring mead and other honey-based beverages: For mead, alcohol content is important for flavor, recipe repeatability, and proper aging and storage. Precise measurement helps you maintain consistent results over the long term.

Technology That Simplifies Measurement

Forget about the complicated reading of scales against the light. The refractometer is designed for measuring alcohol in the range of 0 to 80% and clearly displays the measured value on a digital screen.

A significant advantage is the automatic temperature compensation (ATC). Since the properties of liquids change with temperature, conventional instruments may show inaccurate readings. This model automatically recalculates the result based on the ambient temperature within a range of 0 to 40°C, so you can measure directly in the workshop, honey house, or in the field without any additional calculations.
