What is my hydrometer reading in Brix?

The inverse conversion, for working with analyses and suppliers that report sugar in degrees Brix.

Specific gravity to Brix


Degrees Brix

12.9 °Bx

How this is worked out
  1. Formula: Bx = ((182.4601 × SG − 775.6821) × SG + 1262.7794) × SG − 669.5622
  2. Result: Bx ≈ 12.9
What this assumes (1)
  • Valid for unfermented juice. Once alcohol is present the relationship between density and sugar no longer holds.
