Refractometer
The Refractometer is easy to read. Only takes a grape to get a reading.
Squezzing
13.5 degrees Brix.
Grapes are changing colour
The weather is hot and a few showers of rain every day is keeping the grass growing. Last year at this time there was no grass growth.
The grape bunches are starting to colour up. You can still see a few green ones showing through.

Brix reading
How is it?
Got a refractometer a few years ago. Easy to use and read. Only need a grape and its juice to get a reading.
Currently I'm taking a reading each day of both the MERLOT AND CHAMBOURCIN. This started at 7 degrees bris on 23rd Jan 2016 and is now at 14.6 3rd Feb 2016.
Will start to pick at around 22+ brix.
Look through the eye piece
