Is this refractometer for wine? Most refractometers read in brix so I don't understand why you want to convert to brix.

I have a Hanna digital refractometer and it reads in brix and auto adjusts for temperature. Remember a refractometer is only meant to read sugar in fruit or juice, not wine or juice that began fermenting. It's possible to use it after fermenting but you need the proper spreadsheet to make it work.
