Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the Milwaukee MA871 used for and what does Brix measure?
A: The MA871 is a digital Brix refractometer that measures the sugar content of liquids as a percentage by weight (% Brix). It's used by brewers to measure wort gravity, winemakers to track fermentation, fruit growers to assess crop ripeness, maple syrup producers to verify density, and food manufacturers for quality control. The 0–85% Brix range covers virtually all food and beverage applications.

Q: Does the MA871 compensate for temperature and why does that matter?
A: Yes. The MA871 features Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC), which adjusts Brix readings to account for sample temperature variations. Without ATC, warm or cold samples would give inaccurate readings since sugar concentration appears to change with temperature. ATC ensures accurate results whether you're measuring a warm wort sample or a cold juice straight from refrigeration.

Q: How do I use the Milwaukee MA871 refractometer?
A: Place 2–3 drops of your sample onto the measurement well, press the measure button, and read the Brix value on the digital display in approximately 1–2 seconds. Calibrate using distilled or deionized water (0% Brix) before first use and periodically thereafter. Clean the sample well with a damp cloth or distilled water rinse after each use.

Q: What is the difference between the MA871 and an optical refractometer?
A: Digital refractometers like the MA871 are significantly more accurate and easier to read than optical refractometers, which require looking through an eyepiece and interpreting a shadow line — a process prone to user error and lighting conditions. The MA871 gives a direct digital readout with ±0.2% Brix accuracy and ATC, eliminating the subjectivity and temperature errors common with optical models.

Q: Where can I buy the Milwaukee MA871 digital Brix refractometer?
A: You can purchase the Milwaukee MA871 directly from Seres Ag at seresag.com. Seres Ag is a trusted supplier of professional measurement instruments for food, beverage, and agriculture applications. Shop at seresag.com for competitive pricing, fast shipping, and expert support.
