Mann Lake Ltd - Monitoring
Optical refractometer calibrated for measuring honey moisture content. Used at extraction to verify honey is below 18.6% moisture (the generally accepted commercial threshold for stability). Honey above 18.6% moisture is at risk of fermentation in storage. Simple to use: place a drop of honey on the prism, close the cover, and read the scale through the eyepiece against the light. Requires a calibration check with distilled water before use.
