A refractometer is a device used for measuring specific gravity in a mash. In the following photo, a plastic cover is opened to reveal the blue area. A few drops of cooled wort are placed onto this blue area using the dropper. The plastic cover is then closed, allowing the brewer to look through the viewing glass at a scale with an accurate reading of specific gravity.
