With the combination of EasyDens and SmartRef it is possible to measure alcohol in finished wine without measuring original gravity (OG) and final gravity (FG) values.
Carrying out the measurement step by step:
- Degas and filter your wine sample.
- Fill a syringe with your wine sample without any air bubbles.
- First, fill the sample well of SmartRef bubble free up to the rim with your wine sample. Second, fill the glass tube of EasyDens bubble free with the same wine sample.
TIP: Make sure that the sample temperature does not differ too much from the ambient temperature. Avoid measuring samples directly from the refrigerator.
- Switch on EasyDens and SmartRef.
- Open the Wine Meister app and create a new batch via 'Batches' in the bar below to save your measurement results.
- Tap on ‘Measure’ in the bar below to get back to the measurement screen.
- Choose the ABV measurement by tapping ‘Measure ABV’.
- A new screen opens. Connect the EasyDens and SmartRef to the Wine Meister app by tapping on the highlighted ‘Tap to connect’ button.
- Once both devices are successfully connected, start the alcohol measurement by tapping the button ’ABV Measurement’.
- The alcohol by volume value is displayed within a few seconds with an accuracy of ± 0.5 %v/v for standard wines. This value is temperature compensated to 20°C.
- To see all measurement data on your measurement screen (Must Weight, Total Extract, Density and Refractive Index), swipe up on the screen.
- Save your measurement in your batch.
