Will this work well for measuring water content of honey?

The device has a limited range - max. 30% sugar in solution. Since honey is +/- 70% sugars, you would have to perform controlled dilutions to bring your solution into the instrumental range. Unless done very exactly, the results would quickly become meaningless. I see that Brushy Mountain sells a refractometer with a range up to 90% for about $80 (on Amazon). That has to be both easier and more accurate.

This is a high proof hydrometer. I use it for spirits. I think that there are hydrometers that would be more sensitive and appropriate for wine (ie. they do not go up to 100% alcohol) but I am not an expert.

I think it will work just fine for beverages because it's a tester for liquid but it's not suited to test solids.

it is only for testing sugar content in liquid. if you took a pinepapple then juiced it. it could tell you how much sugar is in the juice. the instructions that come with it are worthless they are in chinese

I use it for milk in making yogurt - yogurt comes out great so I assume it is accurate. I swirl it around a bit but am careful not to let it hit the container though to be sure it is measuring only the liquid.

I use the refractometer to measure sugar in grapes to help me decide when to pick them. After picking I measure SG of the crushed juice with a hydrometer and it agrees well with the refractometer measurement. I've only used it pre-fermentation.

I am currently using it to test my coils and it does work to a reasonable level. It will definitely will tell u if your coil is safe and the rough resistance, but I would not consider it precise enough for the serious vapor.

Absolutely, but you have got to be careful to keep the honey flowing in a small stream. I hope this will help you.

I use it only to measure moisture in lumber; but I have noticed it measures basically the superficial moisture. I can measure it deeper if I first make two tiny holes in the wood to insert the sensors. I don't think it would give you what you need.

I think that this would work very well. I have used this to measure temps on computer processors and heat buildup on electrical components. should do what you want.

I used my probe to check water temperature and now it does not work. I would say you should not use this probe to check liquids.

I was curious as well. I found this video so I expect it's a similar concept, but I don't know how much of a difference it would make for a jar of honey. http://youtu.be/fXcoM1W5kJ4

Hello, Thank you fot the message. We asked this from the manufacturer and they told us the item might be work for measuring residual sugar. But there is no example before, Hope it works, Thanks

It will only measure surface temp. I use it to measure the temperature of milk for cheese making and I have to stir it really well before I measure to get an accurate reading.

I use it to measure hops, and it seems to be accurate to a tenth of an ounce, it even reads to the hundredth of an ounce.

Yes! My son used it for a science project that measured the amount of electricity fruit generated and it worked wonderfully.

Hi, I think you should be able to test your Spring water with it. It's not as accruate as a lab test. We used it to test tthhe water and make sure it was ok for our livestock.
