I was a little bored at work today
So I put together this chart for determining where your fermentation is up to / finishes
When only taking refractometer readings (so you can throw your hydrometer away!)
It has provision to change the temperature - it is set to 20*C - as most refractometers have ATC and 20*C is the calibration point
The chart runs from OG's 1.079 to 1.029 (19-7.2 Brix) but can be easily extended (with some basic excel skills) should you require numbers outside this range
It currently sits on three pages - so if anyone can think of a way to condense the info - that'd be great
I found going back to a computer after taking a reading during fermentation a little cumbersome - so this should be handy
My formulas came from here http://www.primetab.com/formulas.html
Any corrections / noted errors would be appreciated
Also any thoughts as to any improvements would be good too
Cheers
Edit: Fix spelling in chart
