Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent sized refrac correction chart that I could print out as an A4 and pin up in the brewery?

The only ones I can find are so small they won't even scale up without becoming too fuzzy.

My SS brewbucket sits at the bottom of a kegmate and by sliding it to the door I can sneak a few ml out of the tap for a refrac check, but taking a full hydrometer sample is a pain in the arse.

This is mainly for lager brewing where we are talking a couple of weeks in primary, and I want to hit the correct attenuation % before transferring to lagering tanks.
 
G'day Bribie,

what about pulling down the excel spreadsheet and just cloning out the formula to build your own chart? More work I know, but you could scale it how you want?

Cheers
 
When you hit the print button select "print to fit" and it should resize for you. I have A3 at home and laminator happy to knock out a couple if in or around Melbourne or heading to the up comming swap.
 
Thanks guys, that Brewadelaide one is just what I've been looking for.

Now you have that O2 kit prepared for your world to be turned on its head.
