It says 53% brix, so if you look at the ebay link you posted... that goes to 1.180 SG or 40% brix... so quite a bit higherMardoo said:How much extra is the Magic? That's one of the most unintentionally funny ads I've seen. Looks interesting. What's the upper measurement limit?

Masterchef China right thereTex N Oz said:YOU NO ADD WHOLE PACKET!! YOU **** UP SOUP!!!! as he whips out the "correct, yet stylish" soup refractometer and adds just the right amount of salty flavour packet to his 2 minute noodles....
It is worth the effort considering all the hydrometers I've broken. When I broke the last one I finally bought a refractometer and have been kicking myself ever since for not buying it sooner. I don't have a hydrometer anymore and I don't want one either. I'm happy with my refractometer, and it's a simple matter of plugging the OG and current (finished) brix reading into this online worksheet to come up with the FG. Easy.
No quite as bad. I got to about 4 in something ridiculous before I bought one.old post but after my 5th hydrometre in 20 brews have brought one anyone done worse than me lol
I think it's more important to get an accurate refractometer than worry about having a SG chart.
Had a cheap one and wasn't too impressed with the optics or the clarity of the chart/line.
Here's my Atago N-1E and I love it.
Real glass prism and certified calibration. Crystal clear optics.

Actually I think the glass prism is a better selling point than the LED.If you want crystal clear optics then you might consider the LED ones like this:
... These also have a glass prism.
