This video explains how to do just that, as well as explaining what the wort correction factor is and how to apply it correctly for accurate efficiency and gravity numbers when using a refractometer. 🍻🤘 --------- Spreadsheet Link: https://www.brewersfriend.com/how-to-determine-your-refractometers-wort-correction-factor/ --------- 00:00 Intro 00:30 Refractometer Usage 01:30 Problematic Readings 02:20 Wort Correction Factor 03:05 Spreadsheet 05:40 Data Collection 06:46 Brewing Software ---------------------------------------- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSBkaZyv8gJlVjrLDicNFzw?sub_confirmation=1 ---------------------------------------- Disclaimer: I am not affiliated to any of the products mentioned in this video and have not been remunerated in any way for mentioning them.
