• Extract (% w/w): measurement of the extract concentration in beer wort / monitoring the fermentation process of beer by daily measurement of the apparent extract
• Alcohol content (% v/v): determination of the alcohol content in binary mixtures of ethanol and water (no added sugar); e.g. distillates, spirits, etc.
• Sugar content (°Brix): measurement of the sugar content in (quasi) binary mixtures of sugar and water; e.g. various fruit juices and soft drinks During wine production, a daily measurement of the apparent sugar content enables monitoring the fermentation process.
