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
- Formula: Bx = ((182.4601 × SG − 775.6821) × SG + 1262.7794) × SG − 669.5622
- 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.
