About These Scales

Brix (°Bx): Measures sugar content as percentage of total weight. 1°Bx = 1g sucrose per 100g solution.

Plato (°P): Used in brewing, nearly identical to Brix for practical purposes.

Specific Gravity (SG): Ratio of solution density to water. Used to track fermentation progress.

Oechsle (°Oe): German scale for grape must, equals (SG-1)×1000.

Baumé (°Bé): French scale historically used for wines and other liquids.
